A fuel system for a gas turbine engine having a fuel conduit carried within an outer containment member for receiving and containing leakage from the fluid conduit. The fuel conduit includes an end that carries an elongated ferrule that has a first, enlarged head end to receive a connecting nut and a second end for receiving an end of the fuel conduit and for spacing the end of the fuel conduit from the head end of the ferrule. The ferrule has a body portion intermediate the first and second ends that has a tapered outer surface so that the body portion has thicker side wall adjacent the head end than that adjacent the second end.
