THE INFAMOUS FUEL LINES
Check out this pair. I'm very pleased with the Parker fittings, one full turn on the ferrules and no leaks. After removal I noticed the supply line would spin at the lower crimp, another disaster waiting to happen.
I love how the new routing opens up the bay so it's time for some tower tricks.
Yeah, I know - the wire tie is not color coded!

Works well, be very careful of the stainless rubbing, in particular it looks like it is rubbing on the FPR, not good.

Thanks Matt, anything against stainless braid is a looser. There is actually about 1/8" between it and the line. After a couple of thermal expansions I'll check fit/stress relief and-anti chaff anything that looks unusual. I have even considered clear shrink tubing for a cover, kinda kills the look though.

All these should be on the shelf at your local Parker store.
8mm adapter - GE08L1/4NPT ~$4.71
10mm adapter - GE10L1/4NPT ~$3.61
NPT to -6 flare - 6-GTXS ~$1.75
Once the tube is seated finger tight, one turn-and one turn only, is all it takes. It's a super quick no guessing installation.

I would love a complete list of supplies you used. Are the Parker parts available at auto stores or industrial supply stores? I guess you're in the LA area also so please let me know where you sourced them. Are they holding ok? Any leaks or problems?
I would really appreciate if you could post this info as I've sprung a leak and I've got to get my 951 up and running again so I would like to not have order anything from out of town suppliers. Also, what diameter, length, etc. of hose did you use? I like the way you've routed them away from the exhaust heat.
Thanks & I really appreciate the help!

I guess I'm lucky. I live in a small town, but there's one industrial-supply house that has all this stuff. Costs about 2-3x as much as Kevin's quotes, but I get them the same day. Here's some other sources:
