Hi guys I need your help again. I am installing a new gas line in my 48 Merc. It is the original copper plated steel with ferrel. How much fuel line past the ferrel and fitting goes into the tank? I hope I asked that in a way that makes sense to those reading.
 
If you solder the ferrule like Ford did originally, you'll be in trouble at the fuel pump with a 1/4". 1/8" is safer at that connection. If you don't solder the ferrule, it will adjust itself when you tighten the fitting.
