Hey, I have been experiencing some pretty poor gas milage and found a leak in my line yesterday. It is in the line that runs to the fuel rail. The only problem is...ford discontinued making these and I can't find one ANYWHERE. What is everyone else doing? I am thinking that my only option now is to go to stainless lines, but I don't know how I am going to get an AN fitting on the hard line from the tank. Suggestions?

I saw that fitting in summit and that was what i was going to use to connect the braided hose to the rail, but i don't know how to connect it to the line from the tank though.

Buy a 37 degree flairing tool. See http://www.mscdirect.com/IWCatSecti...ol&NameVector.length=1&View.x.x=47&View.x.y=6 for the tool & http://www.amazonhose.com/default.asp for the hose and AN fittings. Not cheap, maybe a poll of the boneyards is a better deal

While browsing through the summit site, I came across some fittings that say they work without flaring the hard line. Would these work in my situation? Here is the link.
