But, that's my fault.

In anycase, has anyone used Fragola fittings? Looks to be of nice quality, and offer a ptfe "lined" -6 and the only one I can find that has a 180* fitting, since I guess mixing hose and fittings is frowned upon. I looked at aeroquip, but no 180* fitting that I need. The aeroquip stuff is only about 40 bucks more overall. Sorry for the rant :/
Look up Fore Innovations. Nice products, make most of their own fittings. They source Eaton carbon lined ptfe hose. Used their products on my return conversion. One of their guys spent 1/2 hour with me discussing fuel pumps and E85 related degredation over time and didn't rush me off.

I can second this. Spent quite a bit of time on the phone with them sorting out a system for my L. Ended up with a 3 pump billet hat and all the goodies. Not cheap, but quality stuff.
