Fuel hard line adaptor

I am converting my fuel lines to -6 AN and I know some guys used this adaptor

My question is do you flare the hard line 37 degrees like the tube sleeves?

That particular adapter fitting is only for aluminum tube / pipe.
I don't think you're supposed to use it with the stock OEM (coated) fuel line.

This is pricey, but you can try this:

I can use earls Part # - 581805 - 5 an tube nut and Part # - 581905 - 5 an tube sleeve but I cant find what psi they are rated at.

I think I am going to a hydraulic shop today that uses Aeroquip products and ask them what they think.

I just got back from the hydraulic shop and they gave me the Eaton equivalent to those Earls part numbers.
Tube sleeves, -5 AN tube nuts, and -5 AN to -6 AN adapters.

^ you prob only spent a couple of bucks too compared to hundreds of dollars compared to those shiny blue/red fittings. lol. It's soo funny how much cheaper and better quality fittings you can get from a local hydro shop and most ppl don't even realize it.
