I would think a compression fitting should be ok in that scenario as you are not dealing with the kind of pressure you would on a brake line, and actually there is no pressure as is really a vacuum. The pump in the front on the car is sucking the fuel through the line. As opposed to a tank mounted pump that is pressurizing the line, and pushing the fuel to the front of the car.

If the fitting failed, then the front mounted pump would just suck in air. As opposed to a tank mounted pump where it could squirt fuel through a breach.

Just some 'fuel' for thought!
