REFLECTOR: Fuel Line Fittings

[Jack Sheehan]

If the flex line is connected to the engine then before it connects 
to the bulkhead fitting I would have it secured to something 
(firewall, engine mount) with a good adel clamp. The vibration would 
be attenuated. i think the engine heat on the AL fittings probably 
also contributes to failures. Maybe this is all a urban legend thing 
I was taught long ago, in a place far away No but maybe some of the 
A&P's could spek on the hardware requirement.
How bout you Mack?
