Dick;
A bit more info on AN fittings:
1/4" tubing is used with 4AN fittings: an AN819-4D Coupling Sleeve and an
AN818-4D Coupling Nut
3/8" tubing is used with 6AN fittings: an AN819-6D Coupling Sleeve and an
AN818-6D Coupling Nut
1/2" tubing is used with 8AN fittings: an AN819-8D Coupling Sleeve and an
AN818-8D Coupling Nut
The "D" suffix indicates aluminum. For steel fittings, omit the suffix.

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.
