Fuel Line Connection Blocked by Rounded-Off Stuck Fitting

Fuel Systemintermediate✓ OP Confirmed

Problem

Unable to connect fuel lines when reinstalling the fuel tank because a rounded-off male fitting was seized inside the female fuel line fitting, preventing the hard line from the tank from being connected.

Fuel lines could not be connected together during reassemblyBanjo bolt fitting appeared to be missing but was actually seized inside the female fittingMale side of the fitting was rounded off and stuck in the female fitting

Root Cause

The male side of the fuel line fitting had been rounded off (likely from previous over-tightening or use of wrong tools) and was seized inside the female fitting, making it appear as though the bolt/fitting was missing entirely.
