The hard lines run from close to the tank, to past the firewall - 1-piece. I have push-lock AN hoses connecting the tank to the hard lines, then braided stainless AN under the hood.

Agree, on the compression fittings. I had to do some research. I'm about to do another EFI system, and bought industrial "Swagelock" type fittings to connect to the steel lines, then use AN adapters on those fittings.
