I am putting together a fairly large fuel system and i have everything mapped out and i know what sizes and what fittings and filters i will be using. i have done some research and it seems you can't go wrong with Russells,earls,aeromotive. i have also heard alot of good about Red horse racing fittings as well as BIG END fittings.

what do you guy's reccomend? i'm trying to go with a all black fitting/hose trend to make it look clean.

any other good companies to check out? or which ones should we stay away from?

i'm also going to be doing a stainless steel wastegate line due to cheap vaccum line cracking due to heat and time. has anyone on here done that?

I use the earls black anodized fitting with pro-lite hose. You can use any of those stainless braided or prolite for vacuum lines too.

I use a couple of earl's and aeroquip fittings. Wish I could afford the black anodized when I was doing my oil cooler setup, but I was on budget. I also use the aeroquip starlite hose; very flexible.

As long as you stick with quality, high end brands (Russells, earls, aeromotive like you mentioned) you should not have any problems..

All my AN fittings were purchased from Summit Racing:
Summit Racing (http://www.summitracing.com/)

HUGE inventory, great customer service, Fast shipping, decent prices.

jegs also has some black anodized fittings for pretty cheap and i've bought a few from them and they are really high quality for the price. like 6 bucks for a -6 straight fitting.

I used all Earls on my SR setup. Not a single complaint... I had about $1200 worth when it was all said and done.

On my LS3 setup, I will be doing the braided nylon again, but I will be going with all black fittings or something similar to the Russell Pro Stock... which is black/charcoal gray. Chase from Chase Bays and I are hooking each other up, so it looks as though I will be getting my AN fittings from the same place he does. It's a company that does not sell on the retail end of it. They are the producer of the AN fittings for aerospace, military use etc. Chase said they can even possibly do custom color setups for the fittings. So we'll see what I think in a couple months or so.

I'm using Earls as well, I looked at some cheaper alternatives but given that I will be plumbing some of my engines most important fluids I figured I had better not cheap out on this part of the build.

A good friend of mine uses all summit's fittings and he is pushing a 800+ whp power plant has not had one issue with them, and thats been going on for 2+ years.

XRP's... I like because they have an extra ridge that cuts into the rubber part of the end of the hose and can hold more pressure.

I went with some Red Horse racing fittings which alot of guys on Yellowbullet use, so i'll try that and the rest are Earl's or Fragola. i'll report back once i get them all and give a little review.

zilvia : It doesn't matter just -10 everything regardless of what would make the most sense.

Summit Racing all the way. Proven and they are priced just right.
