5/16" plastic fuel line - Question

[MakoGT350]

doing EFI with the parts all from FFR. I am making a new line to go from the pump pick up assembly to the filter because I kinked the one that came from FFR. I am working with new pieces, and I have watched a few videos, but it is kicking my butt to press in the barbed fitting into the line.
Hoping someone has a proven method...

I too had to redo my fuel line from the tank to the filter. Googling how to press barbed fitting into nylon fuel line, I found the caulk gun and flairing tool trick to work very well. Clamp the fuel line in the flairing clamp, put into a caulk gun and slowly squeeze and watch the fitting go into the line.

Thanks Rob - I saw something similar, but didn't have the same style caulk gun. I have it now, will try again.
