What type for flare is this on my fuel line?


Recommended Posts

I have been installing the fuel lines on my Westfield SDV and unfortunately messed up my very last bend.

 

I have managed to salvage the line but I need to put a new flare on the end.  Can anyone tell me what sort of flare this is and if there is a tool available to make it?

 

Thanks

I don't think so, that looks like the end that clips into a snap on fitting? If I am correct there is no flaring tool that will help.

Thanks @fastg, it is a "push on" connector for a rubber fuel hose with hose clamp.

If it's a push-on with a hose clamp your in luck, you just need a flare to stop the hose from sliding off, that should be easy to do.

The tube end you have is not a flare and isn't intended to be used with a hose clamp. Late model cars use this type of connector and there is a fitting that goes over it, and a tool to remove it. Look in a Dorman catalog and you will see the different fittings.

Looks like a barb.  You might be able to put a fuel hose and clamp over it, but the intended fitting is preferred.

Most QD fittings have O-rings or are smooth

Third vote for a standard barb push on for rubber.
