For general info group, I have used the -3 aluminum fittings and found them more than strong enough. A getoff that broke the caliper on a guard rail didn't fail the fitting. While that isn't total surity it does show that the fittings are tough. I used the Earl's fittings then. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on the aircraft.

Thanks, Bill.  I'm gonna order the -3D fittings throughout ('cause my head hurts trying to keep all the permutations of different sizes correct 8*).  I was worried about the strength because I've had some -3 bolts break on me when trying to put nylock nuts on.

For the fuel lines, I'm going with the -6D (3/8) from tank to firewall.
