Extreme caution on AN fittings especially Earl's

How many times have you assembled braided lines and fittings and never tried to look down the hose ( when length allowed ) to see if there were any obstructions. I recently plumbed an entire system when I decided to look......it was not good. The lining of the braided line was cut into and "rolled up" by the fitting so badly it almost blocked the flow of the line.......it was an Earl Auto Fit fitting......I can't count how many of these I have used over the years. The Russell or Aeroquip did not destroy the interior of the hose. Having strange things happen to fuel pressure ??? You may want to look.
