    I am sick of the gay firewall mounted fuel filter I bought already, and I haven't driven the car yet. I would like to flare my fuel inlet and return line in order to run an in-line filter. Could anyone with some knowledge either do it for me for some cash, or point me in the dirction of someone who can?

      You can buy flaring tools @ any parts store for pretty cheap.

          It's very very easy. The tool has holes for multiple diff size lines and comes w/ little cone fittings for each size and it presses the cone fitting into the line to flare it. It's pretty straight fwd.

            Alright. Is there a standard size -AN fitting I should use depending on the diamter of the hard line? I am assuming something around a -3AN or so. When doing a fuel line, I would use a double flare, correct?
