Braided stainless line of this style is like sandpaper. Anything it vibrates against it will eventually cut through or abrade. It’s a good idea to put some rubber hose over the braid anywhere the braid contacts something. And, for completeness, we also put some rubber hose over the AN fittings to prevent them from rattling against the fuel cell’s top and rubbing marks into it.
That’s all there is to it! Radium Engineering makes their dry break fitting in both -6AN and -8AN sizes. You can use them for either fuel or oil applications up to 150PSI. If you have fuel or oil couplings that you frequently connect and disconnect, these things are totally awesome.

Wow -incredibly convenient. If I go back to a dedicated track car definitely going to do this.
Dry brakes are hugely convenient even on a track day car, not just race cars.
