Lippy: Be careful with this overall connection. The first picture is that of a single flare that can very easily crack if overtightened, they are not often used especially for fuel. Every single connection is a possible souce for a leak. The image in post 11 above has at least 5 connections possibly 6. Near the brake rotors is NOT where you want any sort of a potential leak. You might want to consider a hard line with a double flare from the adapter coming out of the tank into a bent and shaped tube secured with adel clamps to the frame, leading to the point where the single flare is. Cut it out (the flare) and use a piece of reinforced fuel injection hose secured with two normal hose clamp to provide an area for flex (mimimal) and vibration. You'll save some weight and have a safer delivery tube. JMO
