A.N. fitting
I plan on installing a electric fuel pump on my 502 M.P.I. and want to use AN fittings. I perchesed soom Russell swivel fittings, butt i have been toled that they leak after a few years, becaus of the rubber O ring. If this is true who makes a good fitting.

I've used Russel, Earls, and Aeroquip with no problems. I can't see the "O" ring leaking, as its not being rubbed against once its installed, plus, think how long rubber fuel line lasts.
Only oes I've bought that were junk were Summit branded. They went back in a hurry.

I have to second what Stevesxm said....I have only used Aeroquip with absolutely no problems to date....and Henry's Engineering in Md. has it all. Ask for Wayne. He really knows his stuff!!

We use Earls, Aeroquip and Russel when we get stuck. Never had a problem with any of them but there is a quality difference. I prefer Earls over all of them plus Earls has the new light weight non metallic braided hose.

XRP fittings are ok but we've had issues with the anodizing more than once. They tend to use a decorative coating not Hard.
These are the Earls with the light weight reinforced braided hose. Nice chit boy!
