I said this too. I believe he said he'd use them anyway, for the sake of peace of mind, since stainless line may not like the necessary bends to mount the fuel filter. Tight radii tend to kink the stainless braid, so I sort of agree.

I also offered an option to use standard hydraulic/pneumatic fittings, but Ben was tired, and I couldn't find all the fittings that were necessary in short order. (I only have a couple that I use bookmarked, and they're for 5/8" line.)

I suppose by now, he's already ordered the parts from Russell, though. I won't continue searching for the other type of fittings.
