    On steel line definately double flare.

    Another tip, if your doing the end of a line that you are planning on slipping a rubber fuel line over, just do the first step for double flaring (i.e. use the die and start the flare). THis will give you a little "bulge" in the line with no sharp edges like the factory plares on the end of a steel line.
    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
