Dropping the tank but f**ck'n fuel line won't budge!

Cheers guys will do what JPC said I think - did you take the lines off to flare them or can you do the work while the lines are in place and car upon axle stands?

Cheers

I did it in situ, without removing the lines. A bit fiddly, but doable. Use a midget tube cutter to cut the steel line cleanly (and file if necessary), then do the flaring.

Shouldn't be a problem to do it without removing the lines, I did some work for a brake/clutch guy many years and from memory the tool will fit in the palm of your hand.
The important thing is as JPC said you need a DOUBLE FLARE TOOL.

I think NF means this:


Or more specifically this (yes, palm of hand included):


:)

This little bugger plus a normal flaring tool will produce the double flare you require. They come in different sizes and will cost about $10 to buy just the one...you want one to suit 3/8" line.
