When I started mucking around with fuel injection, one of my first purchases 
was a set of flare nut wrenches.  They are almost completely _USELESS_.
 
I now have just three flare nut Crowfoot sockets - 12mm and 14mm in 1/4" 
drive, and 17mm in 3/8" drive. I'm not at all sure that the 17mm is that 
useful, but the 12mm is worth its weight in gold.  Actually, that's about what 
it cost!
 
Where a fuel line connection is readily accessible, I use two large adjustable 
wrenches.  Use _much_ bigger wrenches than would at first seem appropriate - 
then you benefit from the proportionately oversized jaw thickness.
