V8TV's latest project is a 1955 "CoyoTBird" that melds the old school elegance of a vintage T-bird, with an easy to live with modern Ford drivetrain.   Trevor invited us out to help him decide the best to mate the car's stainless steel EFI fuel lines to the factory inlet on the 5.0L Coyote Engine in the 55 Thunderbird.

After a quick how-to lesson, Trevor was building TechAFX A-N lines & fittings like he'd been doing it for years.  Take a look. 

Many thanks to Kevin, Kelle, Trevor, & the V8TV crew for their warm hospitality!

Ed Syrocki is the owner of EMS Classic Car Care in Warren, MI.  Since 1998, he's been specializing in the repair & maintainance of a variety of classic cars & trucks for his loyal customers.  He's pretty frustrated with the damage that he sees happening to his customer's cars every day.  Damage from today's ethanol-blend fuels. Damage that can happen in a remarkably short period of time to Carbs, Fuel Pumps, & rubber Hoses.   Ed's frustration come from the fact that all of this damage comes from the simple act of gas into your prized vehicle.

TechAFX Hoses are "Built for Today's Fuel".  Our Hoses & Fittings are designed & tested to stand up to aggressive fuels like gasoline, alcohol, ethanol, methanol, E85, etc.

This video shows How to Build AN Hoses using TechAFX BlackWrap PTFE Hose & Fittings.

Fitting/Hose Assembly Tips:
Determine Needs/Buy Product
-Determine what fittings you need and how much hose, then purchase (buy about 20% more hose than you think you'll need)

Removing Leaking Hoses
-Drain fuel from system before removing hoses you want to replace
-Mark used hoses with tape/writing to keep track of what hoses are for what (and which direction they go on the vehicle

Building Hose Assembly
-Install one end before cutting hose to length
-Disassemble hose end, install collar from hose end on hose
-Cut back BlackWrap 7/16 inch on hose
-Spread braid off PTFE core, loosely install 'ferrel' between PTFE core and braid
-Push ferrel into position on bench
-Use TechAFX hardcoated aluminum Awl to seat PTFE core into ferrel
-Lube up and install tube of hose end into olive/PTFE core combination
-Push collar up to the end of the hose/olive combo--make sure you have pulled hose as deep as possible into the collar
-Hand start threaded nut (pinned on the TechAFX hose end), and lightly hand tighten (leave at this point--this allows the fitting to be 'clocked' easily once final installed on the vehicle: you will tighten the nut/collar combo once the hose assembly is on the vehicle.
-Cut hose with either: chop saw, rotary saw, cold chisel/2 lb hammer or, our favorite, cable cutters
-Install second hose end just past hand tight

Install Hose Assembly on Vehicle
-Position/install the new TechAFX BlackWrap PTFE AN Hose Assembly on the vehicle
-Once the hose ends are 'clocked' the way you want them to go, use two wrenches to tighten the nut/collars on both ends of the hose assembly...this will lock the angle of the hose ends in position
-TechAFX PTFE AN Hose Ends are tight when approximately 1 1/2 threads (it's usually between 1 and 2 threads) are left showing between the nut and collar at the hose end to hose mating point
-Enjoy the beautiful appearance and the OE-quality performance/durability of the TechAFX product.
