SNIP
I pulled out all of the fuel selector valve and fuel pump goodies from the old fuselage today. I disassembled all of the various flare ends and cleaned up all the Fuel Lube with lacquer thinner making sure not to get any in the pump or valve or transducers. All but two of the fuel lines seem to be reusable and don't show any signs of damage from the Mishap. I really don't want to have to recut, rebend, and reflare all of these if I don't have to.
What's the common knowledge on reusing the flares on the fuel and brake lines?
Am I just asking for a bunch of leaks if I put these back into service now that I've unscrewed them?
Thanks!

Matt,
I've used these many times. They can save a slightly nicked flare and make the sealing much easier. Not necessary everywhere, but very handy in a few places. You can get them at any decent hydraulic shop or online.
