i have an A1000 fuel pump and im in the process of running my fuel lines right now. the A1000 and my inline fuel filter both have -10 fittings. to save money on buying extra fittings can i just use a male to male fitting and run both attached? or will this cause some kind of problem and strain or damage the pump? i would assume its ok becuse liquid doesnt compress so it should have the same back pressure on the pump 1" away or 8 ft away.... right? thanks in advance for your help...

this is a'ok aeromotive actually has a diaghram somewhere or another that tells you to put a 10 on the inlet and a 100micron on the exit...thats how mine is set up and ive never has the first issue

His question was wether he could run a hard plumbing between them or not.

OP> fitting it directly may cause problems with vibrations, but that is the only problem you could run into. Your choice
