I decided to keep the hose
barbs on the inlet size, since
there is no pressure there and go to AN-6 for
the pressure side. Millions of
autos are driving on hose barbs on both sides
with no
problems.

You're right of course,
that millions of cars are working just fine with barbs. Mazda even uses
those annoying spring clamps. As much as I hate them though, I have to
admit that none were leaking when I threw them away.
As for not worrying so
much about the inlet side, I'm not sure I agree. There's quite a bit of
potential suction on that fitting, though it shouldn't normally be that
great. It's easier to suck air in a loose fitting, than push fuel
out, and air bubbles in your fuel lines can make for an evil problem to
diagnose. If I had a pump in my hand that gave me not option, I
might use the barb, but I'd never do it when I had the option of using
an AN fitting.
No right or wrong
answer, just my personal preference.
Cheers,
Rusty (OK, so maybe I
will do the Airbike...)
