I think that's gonna help several people who don't have or can't get good stock braided lines.

Yes, as this is exactly why I created this thread. Everyone can benefit from this, no doubt. What amazes me is they don't sell already assembled PTFE lines with the AN fittings. Seems you have to make your own up.

What I noticed is they do sell pre made/assembled CPE lines (pic below), but in what I have researched they are not as durable/sustainable as PTFE.

*Update, I noticed from a Google search that you can purchase already assembled PTFE AN Lines, but they seem rather pricey.

Today we tried removing the quick fuel line disconnects, I have a friend whom is an experienced helicopter mechanic, and yep, they wouldn't budge.


Plan B- Running a new ptfe supply line from the fuel rail supply directly to the fuel filter.

I'm not sure which line was leaking originally, However If there's a leak on the low side return line, I'll have to drop the tank and run a new line from the fuel tank directly to the regulator on the fuel rail, thus resulting in all new lines.

This job is giving my a seriously bad headache now.

Your thoughts?

Hopefully the connections on the fuel filter and the gas tank are easier to disconnect. I believe they have different fittings in what I had viewed on YT, this I'm not 100% sure of,,,, but anything is better at this point in my opinion.

My head doesn't hurt at all.
