Doug&Deb Posted Saturday at 12:47 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:47 PM I have a 52 Coronet. The fuel line attachment at the tank is a different kind of flare than standard. I believe it’s referred to as a bubble flare. Does anyone know of a tool that produces this? When I replaced the line I had to keep a stub of the original line coming out of the tank. This is a different setup than the ferrule that’s used on the earlier cars and it’s not an inverted flare either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted Saturday at 01:12 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 01:12 PM I know some newer brake lines use a bubble flare. Though I don't know if that will work for you but you can get that tool all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Riding Posted Saturday at 03:57 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:57 PM Are you sure it's not the longer nosed 5/16 fuel line fitting that Chrysler used, post '48?

Doug&Deb Posted Saturday at 07:45 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:45 PM Bob I was wrong to call it a bubble flare. It resembles an umbrella from the side. The replacement tank I installed has the same fitting. Unless my original line had been over tightened and I’m overthinking this. I’m going to try a standard inverted flare fitting on the old tank and see how it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
