all right guys, obviously I'm not a mechanic, and so the variety of fittings still leaves me stumped sometimes. why in the hell 3/8" can't just be 3/8" is beyond me.

I went with stainless fuel line. I ordered 3/8" inverted flare nuts for the ends, and THOUGHT, wrongly I know now, that these would fit 3/8 npt.

So everybody that has used steel lines, how in the f*&# do you get from the hard line to the other lines?

If there isn't an easy solution I'm sending this s*&T back and getting aluminum and saying the hell with it.
