FYI: for a hassle-free installation, you're better off using a
crimped connection if you're splicing into a nylon fuel line -- the
connectors I've used were specifically tailored to that purpose -- as
regular barbs won't cut it. Crimpers vary from the high-dollar,
dedicated purpose devices to the [aforementioned] CV-boot variety,
depending on the products selected. Try googling "nylon fuel line
repair" or something to that effect.

Overkill on pieces, CV-style clamping:

It might be easier to have a local well-equipped garage crimp it up
for you. While working on fitting a supercharger, I found an absolute
dearth of information and materials for this exact scenario....even
the manufacturers show a cobbled-up pile of fittings in their
literature.....the performance aftermarket supplies an an-to-male
quick-connect fitting for "Mustang" applications, but their female
portion is on the rail or something, so it only gets you halfway
there....
