I also went with the Swagelok 6AN connectors for my fuel line. No need to cut the metal fuel line coming through the firewall. Just add the Swagelok connector to the metal fuel line and make your connections using 6AN fittings. I am also using the Swagelok connector at the E-Force fuel rail connection.
After installing the E-Force and upon initial start up, the fuel line connection was not secure enough for the fuel pressure and sprayed raw fuel all over the engine bay and garage floor before I realized what was going on and was able to shut everything down.
Scared the hell out of me!!! Know what you must have been thinking and going through.

Real quality piece in stainless. The 3/8 to 6an was only 17 bucks right from the distributor. They have online catalogues.

If the Ontario distributor won't sell direct I can get you what you need. Its only 5 minute from my house.

I have the line split to both rails,which is why its split in the picture. I'm using AN stuff on the rails and never had a problem with them. Anything new I add will get Swagelok. I like the stainless and its the same if not cheaper in price to the car stuff.
