If you do the first part of a double flare and stop at the right point,
you will wind up with a pretty good fascimile of a factory bubble-type
flare as found on low pressure gasoline and other lines on OE
applications. Dont know whether I would use it on 40 psi plus systems,
though...

For hose, I have always had good results with weatherhead H100. Available
everywhere and good for pretty high pressures. IIRC, 5/16 ID is rated at
1000 psi or thereabouts.
