see any difference in these.
this is prolly the -6 fitting you use, or close to it. I bet you have nicked the new powder coat on the fuel bowls a few times installing them.

Take a look at these puppys.
Notice that you can get a wrench on it.

-8 fittings are the same way. I wonder why they even put the hex up by the threads in the first place? :confused:

These long female ones are the same way too. Hex where you can get at it, what a concept.

Because they build them out of hex and don't have to mill it in. Cheaper.
