Chris,
These are called AN fittings.B From my experience, they are very reliable and
don't leak if they are in good condition. In your photo, the left end has a
slight taper and is a pipe fitting. It should be wrapped with Teflon tape. The
other end should _not_ be wrapped. I have seen these used on test engines an
dynomometer stands for many hours with no leaks.

Subject: [Fot] Aluminum connectors
Hi @ all,
hope you are getting well to the next year.
My car has many oil lines and also a lot of aluminum connectors and some of
the them do leak.
Is there any trick to seal them?
I think that I have tighten them enough and hesitate to tighten more not to
destroy them.
Is there a seal missing in those connectors?

Just an example what I mean for the system.
Cheers
Chris
