Just wondering if anyone knowshow to make this flare. I have tried the double flare tool with no luck.

No idea, might be easier to just use a bead tool?  I’m  assuming you’re trying to make sure the fuel line doesn’t slip off?

Hi Immortality,

Thats what i was trying to do. I was reading through the Aeroflow catalogue and found the.  I just bought the 5/15th one so i will try it tonight.

I just replied to your pm Chris, for some reason my messaging has gone a little weird, hopefully, you get it!  – Gary

Can always use a CROX tool and just manhandle the hose over the flare.

the aeroflow bit broke. What a waste of 45 haha

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Not suprised. Buy a crox tool. It should work

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I managed to get it to work. Do they make the crox tool in a 5/16th?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Didn’t think of that. I’ll be running 1/2 inch

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I’m using the 5/16 to the engine and the return. I should have up graded it. And probable will later.

With my fuel line flares, I just used a brake flaring tool and did a light half flare

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I tired using the double flaring tool and the hose didn’t want to go on. I got the beading tool to work even though it broke.
