I use the Ford designed high pressure quick-connect fittings, with OEM 
O-rings, and they have never leaked. I installed them in 2001, and they 
were already used at the time. Some of them are probably from the 90:s.

I also use hard plastic fuel lines, which are just pressed/shrinked to 
the fittings, and they have given me zero problems.
