I am upgrading my whole fuel system and I do not have any experience with any kind of braided line. Do the stainless and nylon braided line use the same kind of fittings on the end of the hoses. I may end up using stainless and nylon. I like the look of the black line better than the stainless and I already have some fittings but I will need to get more. I am going to a 1050 carb and I already have a MagnaFuel pump and a Holley billet regulator, I just got to plumb everything.Thanks for any help or suggestions.....

I have the magnafuel 500 pump and it is for -12 fittings. I want to run -10 from the pump to the regulator. Would you run -12 or -10 from the fuel cell to the pump.

-12an from cell to inlet of the pump and then -10an from outlet of pump to inlet of fuel regulator.

I was looking at the -12 Summit brand Braided Nylon hose and all the fittings for the end of the hose say -12 AN hose to male NPT. Why do they not have -12 an to female -12 an. I do not need the npt end unless that what goes into the fuel pump. I am totally lost with the braided hose.

inlet and outlet from the pump are -12AN MALE you'll need a -12an to -10an O ring male reducer for pump.

That is what I thought but for the braided nylon hose it only shows the fittings with the NPT on one end. Are the fittings for the stainless and nylon braided hoses different?

No get the Russell black hose with blue tracer and get the Summit fittings. They work great in combination with each other.

Thanks I just put the fittings you showed me in my summit cart. Will the summit hose ends work with the Russell black hose?
yes they are the easiest to use. just spray wd40 into the hose prior to tightening down on the threaded part of the fitting and make sure you blow out the hose prior to attaching everything to the regulator and carbs.

Thanks for the help ... T&T starts in 2 weeks and I would like to get most of this done. I might run like it is now first then upgrade fuel system to see if it makes any difference. I am running a mechanical pump on the motor now with 3/8 rubber hose and Autozone $2 fuel filter.

Does anyone know if any of the nylon braided hose use this type of fitting? I noticed some of them use a crimp on fitting and I rather not use that kind.I was wanting to go nylon braided instead of stainless. I already have some of the fittings in this picture.
Thanks..

Each line has specific fittings for them, they are mostly 37* with others types being JIS and SAE 45*. You need to find the right fittings per the hose. Aeroquip and stratoflex have interchangeable ends, but most others are not made to the same standard. Tim
