Just be aware that AN fittings are frequently misused with JIC fittings. One is a 37° flare and the other is 45°. If I were you I would just do it with AA type 1 USCG approved fuel hose, barb fittings, and hose clamps. It is easy to fabricate and refabricate quickly and underway. No special tools. No special shops. Custom length and orientation.

They do seem to be as the only thing that gets compressed is the hose between the ferrule and the insert fitting Danny On 4/25/2016 10:33 AM, Rick Brass via CnC-List wrote: The SAE standards for hose generally call for the hose to be marked with the ID of the hose – so 5/16 hose is nominally 5/16 ID. This is unlike tubing and pipe, where 5/16 is 5/16 OD. The exception is SAE type 5 hose (I think it is supposed to be marked with the SAE standard 1005 on the layline of the hose). Type 5 hose is called “tubing size” and the ID of the hose is the same as the ID of the same size hydraulic tubing. So 5/16 type 5 hose is a bit under ¼” ID, and something like 7/16” OD. It is hydraulic hose rated at 5000 PSI or so, and is not fuel hose. Type 5 hose was originally created for use in aircraft during WWII, because you would not want to carry around the weight of metal tubing and the extra fluid contained in a larger ID hose – plus hose was a lot easier to inventory and replace than metal tubes on military airplanes being repaired around the world. Fuel hose is basically type 1, IIRC, rated to something like 1000 PSI. Made with an inner tube that is resistant to fuels and most solvents (though not all). The reinforcement is made to allow the hose to be more flexible and have shorter bend radius than hydraulic hoses. It also will work as suction hose, which many types of hydraulic hose will not. Never use anything except fuel hose in fuel system applications.

Depending on your hose source, a 5/16" OD hose could have a variety of IDs--some wall thicknesses are greater than others but this number is often not noted on the outside of the hose. If the hose is going on barbed fittings, some to this can be made up by the hose clamps (double always IMHO). However, a thick-walled 5/16" hose may never go over a 1/4" barb fitting.
