Mike, I agree with Frank's comment.  I have found that bending or  tensioning 
the steel line so the flare lines up with the inlet bevel as it is  lightly 
tightened will solve this problem.  If any steel fuel lines vibrate  as the 
engine is revved you can add clips or nylon ties to anchor them.   Matt's comment 
about having a NAPA agent creat professionally crimped hose  connections 
sounds like a great idea was well--and would look great  too.
