Fuel line

[Doug&Deb]

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.

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.

Thanks! I’ll look into it.

Are you sure it's not the longer nosed 5/16 fuel line fitting that Chrysler used, post '48? Check out this thread

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.

Our most respected MoPar dealer MoParpro has the gas tank ferrule for your 52. He only has one left. Cost $28.02

Andys has the ferrule and did not pay anything like that. I think i have two in my fitting stash.

Let me say the fitting it self was odd, a bit of unthreaded portion on the that’s were i used the small brass fitting i got from Andys.

I was working on my. 1950 Dodge Coronet.
