On the parachute mount
So many choices out there . I have used almost all of them …except the really “good” ones . Now I’m looking at Earls ultrapro . Seems really nice PTFE and very
Flexible and looks long lasting , easy to assemble .

BUT , it doesn’t come in -8 ? I need -8 for fuel rail feed and return . Or am I missing something??

I ran that hose on an EFI car in the past and wouldn't again.

Entire garage smelled like fuel. Allows fumes to pass through.

I don't run fuel injection so I can't comment on high pressure. I've had it on my Dart for about 11 years and have never had any issues, my shop doesn't smell like gas either.

I've used Aeroquip for years. Used Fragola on the last car after looking at their catalog and hearing all the love for their stuff. Now I like them too.

Their PTFE is a Series 6000. Available up to -12. Price is in line with others or even a little cheaper. Made in Connecticut by a family owned business.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I agree with Cab. I had cheap Chinese fittings and line on my car when I was converting it to EFI. When I was checking the system one fitting failed and several other leaks. Within a second there was 2 to 3 L of fuel all over my engine compartment. I’m glad the car was not running or it would’ve burnt to the ground. I will never use Chinese fittings again. Fragola fittings and hoses are made in the USA!

I prefer crimped hose fittings. My last two cars were done with all Brown & Miller Racing Solutions (BMRS) https://bmrs.net/
As for reusable fittings and hose I use Fragola.

Of the AN PTFE lines I've bought recently, definitely been happiest with the Fragola hose and fittings.

I'll have to give the Goodridge stuff a try though, looks like Pegasus carries them.

Brown & Miller crimped for me too, expensive but I think the quality justifies the extra expense.

Fragola...everything made in house up in Connecticut. Good ol USA.
But aeroquip are really good too. But don't try and mix and match hoses to AN fittings.
Earls fittings don't work on anything but earls hose. Maybe I'm wrong but I couldn't get an earl fitting in a Fragola hose for some reason.
