Thread: ZZP diff squirter

I dunno if I want any Air Force/Navy stuff in my car. Its been reported to cause all kinds of weird stuff, LOL.

Well that is good info to know. I guess now its just a matter of finding out where its best to tap in and what size tube to use. I was thinking 1/8 - 3/16" would be perfect, but I havent checked to see if there are AN fittings for that small of tubing. I would imagine there is, I think brake line is on the upper end of that range.

Yeah they make AN fittings smaller than 3/16 I believe. We had some 3/16 tubing on the plane for priming the engine.

AN fittings are 37 degrees when flared correctly, while brake lines are flared at 45 degrees. Most flare tools are 45 degrees so to be done right, you should invest in a 37 degree tool. Although you should be fine with a 45 degree tool as the pressure is so low, and it wouldn't matter a whole lot if you did have a leak

That is true. Where do I find a 37* flaring tool? I do not believe I have ever seen one of those locally before.
