Smitty reminded me about a question I had wanted to ask. When is a double flare
needed in the fuel line service? You should not see a much pressure.
Regards,
Frank

Smitty Says; Proud of you Tim. There aren't many of us willing to
experience roadside tech sessions it seems. Onward and upward, never say
die. It is amazing how the Corvair can get you there against all odds if
one shows just a little ingenuity. Tain't gonna happen with a new car.
Several years ago as I was pulling into a camp ground with the camper on the
back of the wagon a guy in a pickup was pulling out. He rolled down the
window and said, either you are the best mechanic in the world or the most
crazy S** Of A B***h in the world. That's the way it should be for all of
us. Our badge of honor. If you leave home with it, then come back with it
running.
On your line failure I have a comment to make. I know that double flares
are difficult to make properly with a hand kit. But I carry a couple
lengths of different size tubing and a hand kit when I travel. You would be
surprised how far you can get on a good single flare as opposed to a cracked
double flare.
