Need help connecting fuel lines

lol i just seen it...im still having problems with this thing and these fuel lines. i used a tube cutter and cut the lines what i dont understand it how you connect the steel braided hose to the connectors is there something im missing

If you cut the steel tubing you'll need to order some compression fittings with female thread on the opposite end.

compression fittings??? um...lol part number? picture? i got rubber fuel hose with metal clamps to my corvette filter. not liking it too much!

there are many ways you can handle this. What fittings do you currently have on the filter? Do you have quick release fittings? What type hose are you running, braided steel, high pressure rubber with teflon liner?

i plan on ordering the steel braided hose and some of the blue and red fitting things..i have it hooked up under the truck now but i hate the way it looks and i dont think it will hold up very well,.

sorry for thread jacking

High pressure rated fuel injection hose, I hope. You can use what you have though many prefer to use braided or 300 psi hose with AN fittings, that's what i have done on my 2007 truck but not using a corvette filter this time since I'm running two complete fuel systems to the rails. As I've said, there are many ways to tackle this. Which way are you approaching this, most cost efficient or most sturdy? I have run FI hose on many vehicles without issue. I only use enough hose to couple the quick connects to the filter and the fuel line. As for sturdy you can go to a compression fitting to the steel lines with an AN fitting on the output side and then to 300psi fuel hose. The blue AN style fuel quick connects work well, too.
