Question.  What if I want to use the existing steel fuel line that runs 
from the tank to the engine.  I will install a pump close to the tank but 
can the existing steel line be flared (like a brake line) to accomodate a 
threaded fitting.  If not then I could use it as a return line and buy 
steel braided to run the length of the car.
I think the steel line there now is 3/8.

Thanks to all
