Default RE: Fuel Barb Soldering Help Please!

I have to admit I use barbs and zip ties on everything... The real trick that has been touch on a bit. It to use something as heatsink between the stopper and the barb you are soldering... I use a big aligator clip. But most importantly make sure your Iron is at max temp and tinned before you put it to your barb. I little flux on the barb and tube joint and touch your tinned iron to the joint and the just hold it in one spot until the flux sizzles and then you we see the tinned solder flow into the joint. As soon as it starts to flow pull away an let cool completely before doing the other end of tube or move to the next tube depending on your line setup... Hope this helps...
