Tricks to getting fuel fittings on the hose
Got any tricks to getting fuel fittings on the hose (push loc)? I've been trying the heat gun and its a pita. Can I use any kind of lube in there like silicone spray lube?

I've never done it before, so I can't help you out friend. However, here's a semi-related video on AN hose tech.

They are some stubborn sobs. I just put together some push loc fittings in a 1/2" oil line. Here's what I did.
Use grease on the flares that bite.Push them in and wiggle back and forth. Then I used a brass female AN x male NPT fitting fitting with a NPT connector fitting. Screw the fitting onto the push loc fitting and using a hammer, pound on the NPT connector fitting.
