Nothing against crimping connectors, but they are not allowed in my shop because alot of the police vehicles and such we work on have computers and such. Believe it or not you can read with a meter the impedence change in the wire by crimping that metal barrel in between the 2 wires, and impedence changes cause heat. Soldiering the wires together shows no change and will never corrode and break apart over time. Granted he is dealing with fuel pumps and not computers, but I would steer away from crimping wires espicially outside a vehicle where its exposed to weather..
