I used a 25 ft. coil of soft drawn 1/2 inch aluminum tubing from a big box store with #8 AN female tubing nuts on both ends and #8 male fittings out of the pump and into the fuel filter mounted onto the fuel regulator mounted in front of the motor on the motor plate ![scope scope](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/scope.gif) My new race car will have #12 AN out of the fuel cell to the pump and #10 AN to the front ![up up](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/thumbs_up.gif) That motor will make, hopefully, over 900 HP on E85 ![luck luck](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/luck.gif) BTW, what brand of AN fittings are you using? Sorry for not being able to answer your question on that fitting ![blush blush](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/blush.gif)

If you want to connect -10 hose to 1/2 tubing, I would use a -8 sleeve and nut assembly on the line, Aeroquip nos. FCM3676 and FCM3672. Couple that with a FCM2163 union reducer and attach your -10 hose end to that. You'll have to flare the tubing after sliding the parts on. I wouldn't use a compression fitting on fuel or soft aluminum tubing.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I can't think of anywhere I'd use a compression fitting on a car !! ![iagree iagree](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/iagree.gif) Especially a race car. Also it's not a good idea to mount the regulator directly to the motor because of vibration. The inner fender is a much better location because it isolates it from vibration better. Plus it stays cooler there also, IMO.
