I currently have aluminum fittings (True AN from ACS) and hose ends FWF. I had decided to upgrade the hose ends to Earls fittings and Aeroquip 303 hose for reliability. I also just decided to upgrade to FI, so re-configuring things a bit.
In doing some research, I found that steel fittings are recommend on the engine and had planned to replace all of the aluminum fittings with steel. However, I just bought all of the new aluminum hose ends and wondering if these are considered acceptable. Is the recommendation for steel hose ends as well? Do I keep a weak link in the chain by having aluminum hose ends with steel fittings?
I appreciate any input in helping me to figure this out.
Thanks,
Larry
