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 My new race car will have #12 AN out of the fuel cell to the pump and #10 AN to the front That motor will make, hopefully, over 900 HP on E85 BTW, what brand of AN fittings are you using? Sorry for not being able to answer your question on that fitting

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 !! 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.
