I remembered you using the repair sections, good idea. Today I went by the friendly neighborhood parts store bright and early and I was startled by a parts person that was fluent in English... he rented me a double flare tool and I made the adapter line in the photo attached. Using the tool was fun, if you follow the instructions it flares beautifully, especially when you use the correct side of the flaring jaws! De-burring and chamfering the line before flaring are the most important steps. I'd like to find a fitting that will go from 16mm x 1.5 o-ring to a hose barb, but I'll probably buy another repair section and slide the hose over... I've got the nice EFI fuel clamps.
