If I flare my fuel line using a 37 degree flare tool, can I use a regular (male) flare nut on the fuel line? Not sure because all of the male flare nuts that I'm aware of are on SAE flared (45 degree flare angle) tubing. Here's a link to the fuel fittings I'm talking about: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQcmdZ...RKQ3aMEWAXQ3aIT ThankS!
