    The best way is with AN fittings, not the cheapest at all but when done correctly they are very safe and don't leak!!! Nobody likes fuel leaks! AN fittings require a 37 degree flare, plus the nut and sleeve on the hard lines. Summit and all the other stores sell the AN to pipe adapters, sleeves, nuts, and tubing. I use aluminum tubing for the hard line, usually 1/2" for a street car which corresponds with a -8 AN fitting. 3/8" line will work too, it's -6 fittings in AN. I just like the bigger line for the added volume and no chance of starving the carb for fuel...

    Oh yeah, final thought.... I'd put the shut off valve closest to the tank, then the pump, then a 10 micron filter. I'd make the second filter a 40 or 50 micron filter, and put it to the front of the line, but still under the car and not in the engine compartment!
