I guess I missed that chapter. :-)

Actually, I have braided stainless right now but want to switch to 
something when I re-route everything. I'm guessing the road race 
scrutineers won't like my setup with the braied stainless running through 
the cockpit.

Is anyone using the push-on aerosquip stuff for fuel lines? I used it for 
the vent lines, but I tried taking one off one time and I literally had to 
cut it off the fitting. I'll bet those hoses can take pressures well about 
200 p.s.i. I'm talking about the blue hose and the push-on AN fittings. 
I'm only asking 'cause I'll have to deal with this issue at some point if 
I go to get my car approved for road racing.

Good luck on the garage thing. I have a three car. It's too small. 
Something about the application expanding to utilize all available 
resources.
