EFI hardline fitting
Will this fit our fuel system hardline? I want to go from the fuel hardline to a -6 AN fitting on a 2000 Miata. Although there are a bazillion different style EFI quick disconnect fittings there seems to be only one style of hardline, albeit in different sizes.

Hate to bump an old thread but I'd rather post here than start a new thread.
I just tried installing one of these tonight and if I yank really hard it comes off. I bought the Russell ones, not sure if this is common for this type of connector but it seems really unsafe to me. Is this fairly common?

Yeap, if I didn't you'd bet it'd slip right off. I think that the reason why mine slips off so easily is that if you notice in the instructions they give you, the barb has a square face for the seat to push against so it doesn't come off. AFAIK (at least mine is) the Miata one is rounded so with a little bit of force you can get it to unclip.
I ended up getting a tube nut fitting and flaring the hardline. Although a bit of a PITA to do it inside the car, I trust it a lot more.
