I'm fully aware of a flaring tool that flares metal lines to accept compression fittings.

I'm not looking for information about these.
But is there a flaring tool that will put *barb* like flares on metal tubing to accept rubber hose?
Reason I'm asking - On a my Jeep, the fuel filter has a plastic casing with a plastic barbed end that mates up to rubber fuel line (a hose clamp holds the rubber line). This rubber fuel line also mates up to the hard line on the frame rail. I haven't had this apart - but I can only assume there is some type of barb at the end of the hard line which prevents the hose from sliding off after adding a hose clamp.
Wondering if I can cut off a few inches of hard line (easily) for more clearance piece of mind (relocating the fuel filter).
