Dick;
AN fittings are designed to be used with solid tubing. They require a
ferrule and a flare nut-- usually the blue anodized aluminum ones. Most
importantly THE FLARE ANGLE IS 37 degrees, NOT the SAE flare angle of 45
degrees!

Okay, it took me the first fifty years to master 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2". So
how do you tell an AN6 from and AN8? I've got this fuel cell that has four
assorted AN outlets, a fuel pump with some different AN fittings, and I have
no idea what sizes they are. If I want to connect solid metal tubing to
these, can I just flair the end of the tubing and use a flair nut, or is it
a whole different ball game?
I feel like ol' Johnny Cash when he built that Cadillac from the factory
and when he went to bolt up the engine all the holes were gone.
