DanM Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 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
fastg Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 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. Graham
DanM Posted March 7, 2022 Author Posted March 7, 2022 Thanks @fastg, it is a "push on" connector for a rubber fuel hose with hose clamp.
fastg Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 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. Graham 1
CarlB Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 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. 1
IamScotticus Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 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 1
MV8 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Third vote for a standard barb push on for rubber. 1 1
