Braided fuel line help

Yep, strapping tape and a Dremel with a cutting wheel.
Like buttah.
If you can't get it to slip over nipples you may have the wrong size line to begin with, that metal braiding really limits the amount of "give". There IS a difference between SAE and Metric lines, and it's big enough to cause you grief - and possibly a leak as well.
My favorite fuel line is black fabric braided and is German, but it has zero "bling". Damned if I can remember the brand name.....

you can use electrical tape and a cut off saw. That's what I used for mine. Once you get the first piece on, spray WD-40 inside the steel braided line and then put the hose end on. That always worked best for me. -6 is EASY to do...try doing -4...PITA

The only problem with WD-40 is that it will attack certain rubber compounds. Two years later when you say "WTF?" - you'll now know why. If you need to "grease it" use silicone - it's totally inert.
A little dab will do ya....:although I prefer saliva.
It's organic, free, and convenient!
