[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 1455011, member: 4"] Initial inspections of the opening made by removing the fuel pump suggested that there is no possible way to get a hand in there to work a stubby wrench on the inside capture nut - that nut needs a fair mount of torque. So I headed over to Ernie's place in Portland for him to just braze the fitting on. When I arrived, we both thought it was a good idea to at least attempt the tried-n-true stat-o-seal approach, before committing to brazing. Ernie has super-long sausage-fingers compared to me, so why not give it a go? He stepped drilled that perfect 14mm opening, and working in a flex-head 3/8" socket driver, he [B][I]almost[/I][/B] had it, but he [B][I]just[/I][/B] could not seat the 20mm deep socket. [IMG]https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tcb/1/16/1f641.png[/IMG] Turns out it was a 6-pt socket, which offered restrictive opportunities to bite at the capture nut. I suggested we try a 12-pt 13/16" standard-depth socket - once we tried that, boom, done in 5 minutes! [IMG]https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t4c/1/16/1f642.png[/IMG] Leak free, aroma free... and absolutely no sealant of any kind: [ATTACH type="full" alt="finalCrankdown.jpg"]3735[/ATTACH] The beauty of these clampless fittings can't be overstated. These are perfect for incredibly tight working area like this naked race-bike: [ATTACH type="full" alt="GatesBArricde.jpg"]3736[/ATTACH] "Gates 4219BG Barricade Fuel Line is not meant for fuel-injection systems." 😃 [/QUOTE]
