Copper to Rubber - Compression Fittings?
As title, is it ok to use for fuel injection?
I have 8mm olives which from previous searches was going to solder and jubilee clip rubber pipe on, but I can get some compression fittings
(locost....) which look ok.
Also from the veeeeery loooooong threads on fuel hose I have decided to use the R9 stuff from Halfords, unless someone now says DON'T..
Your advice please.

how will you fit the rubber into the compression fitting? the olives just wont "grab" the rubber enough
Or do you have another plan?

why not use a compresion fitting for the copper and screw in a hose tail/barb the compression fitting will hold loads of pressure as thats how all my
nitrous lines are done on my tintop and thats around 1000psiand thats just nylon pipe and olives i also used nylon pipe for the fuel feed to using
olives and are fine
