So you want to convert your car to full AN lines? Here is what you need.
Part # SS-600-6-6AN
http://www.swagelok.com/search/product_ ... -600-6-6AN
Cut the supply line with a tubing cutter install this fitting (no flaring required) and then attach your -6AN fitting on your hose
The problem comes with the 5/16" return line there isn't a fitting like that made for 5/16" tubing sou you would have to get one of these...
Part# SS-500-1-6
Then you will need these from Jegs...
Part# 799-661461
And a .....
Part # 799-660460
Then you need the lines. I bought the longer lines and cut them myself, or you can buy premade lines. If you are keeping your stock rails there are also adapters to AN line for the stock slip on ends.

1337ssei didn't use that last piece. It would have helped a lot, but we just took out even that tube and did full AN to and from the fuel tank.

This was intended to be a setup from the engine bay so you don't have to buy line all the way back to the tank, unless you need to do that for replacing the rails. The last piece is only needed if you are keeping the stock lines and you don't have a flare tool. The first two pieces, the swagelocks, do not need a flare tool either. They seal on the line without a flare and are rated at like 10,000psi so they have no chance of leaking as long as you install correctly. So no special tools are required if you follow the instructions above.

AN stands for Army/Navy, and AN lines are military grade, braided stainless steel lines that are really awesome.

Show off!

That looks really good. I agree the AN lines clean up the bay and look good, but they also keep the fuel a little cooler because you can route them differently and away from the blower, they replace the plastic stock lines, and I like the connections a lot better. A lot easier to get on and off and they also have little chance of leaking if installed correctly over the stupid plastic clips on the stock lines. I hate those things. Also if you are going to upgraded fuel rails such as ZZP or the PRJ ones then these are easy hook ups with more flexability in line routing and again getting rid of the stinking plastic clips.
