Fuel Line Fitting

Hey all, I need a fitting to screw into my fuel lines to stop the flow of gas.

I attached a pic of what I am talking about.

I need a fitting that will screw in once I unscew the 2 pieces from each other, I just dont know what size I am looking for.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

It's probably just an inverted flare, like a brake line. Any hardware store should have them. I think that they are for 3/8" line.

Pipe thread is different...they seal on the threads. The fuel line/brake line threads tighten up using a flare, either european bubble or standard flare. However, if your just usuing it to plug the line so fuel doesnt pour everywhere but arent actually going to have any pressure through it, it should work just fine.
