Sr20 s14 fuel rail inlet barb

[sr20detpl510]

I've looked and can't find anything on this.
I have an S14 SR20 and I am trying to transition from the inlet barb on the fuel rail to SS Earls braided hose. It seems that a house clamp does not clamp hard enough. I can still twist the line when fully tightened.
Is there a fitting that mates these two together?
What are my other options that will allow me to use the SS braided fuel hose?
Could I cut off the barb and flare it on the end and use a -6 AN Tube Nut?
Any other ideas? Thanks

No Solutions or Ideas huh? :cry: LOL

It sounds like maybe you should try to get a different clamp but if you are set on going to AN

They make hard line to AN fittings, but they aren't really safe for anything above 50 psi.

The better option is just to get a weld on fitting:

And if none of those tickle your fancy you can get a new fuel rail.

Can u take a pic of the area of concern?
Why is the hose clamp not able to tighten enough to keep it on?
Does it leak with that hose clamp when the car is running?
I am using a SS braided fuel hose on my fuel rail and its just clamped hella tough on the feed side.

I have not started my motor yet to see if it leaks. It just seems
to be loose and every clamp I have tried I have broken.
The SS Earls hose I am using is super stiff. I can't squeeze it into an oval at all.
