Thumbs down Cheap AN fitting vs quality

Thought I would try and save a couple bucks by running some Jegs brand AN fittings well I wont do that again!
Jegs brand clearly don't flow as well as Earl's!!

yes its clear you can see the size difference and in a fuel system you do not want that starvation from a choke point, it could cause many head scratches..LOL good catch!

I would be severely disappointed as well in one being so small compared to the other if they are supposed to both be the same size !!!!!!!!!

So I know, we are moving enough gas that this matters? I honestly don't know.

Why are you trying to save money on parts for your car as highly modded as it is???This is the 2nd post that you've made regarding cost...I would think that quality and price would not be a factor related to your car...But it is your car...

Well it's AN fittings. To me -6 is -6 and -8 is -8. Some of the AN fittings are $40+ each. Jegs are half the price. I'm all for trying to save some coin.
