Paul,
Try using Aeroquip FC-650 like Mal??? It will satisfy all the things you want.

P.S. without the problems of Teflon needing special fittings.
I think I will use Aeroquip FC-650 simply because not only did Mal decide it
was good enough for him, and that is pretty well enough alone for me, but it
can take diesel, if ever I got really adventurous with my engine selection.
