Greetings Listers, I have been told that the safest way to treat flares 

brake and fuel fittings  is with a double flaring tool. I can get my hands 

on a double flaring tool, but it is a 45degree fitting not 37 degree. I was 

thinking that I could use the double flaring tool to make the initial folded 

over flare, then my single 37degree flaring tool to finish it off. Does 

anyone see a problem with this approach??

Thanks, Mick

Mick,



I am sure you will get a bunch of answers from this question but here is my 

simple response. Automotive uses double flare, aviation does not. Why? Now 

there is another great question.



I think you should try a few test pieces and see what happens. I think you 

might find that the tubing will crack.

The tubing provided in your kit will most likely crack

if flared to 45 degrees.  If not when you flare it,

some time in the future after your airplane is flying.



Why take that chance? Why not just do it like Van's

tell you to in your instructions?  That's what I did

and after 280 hours Iv'e had no problem at all.
