Default Single vs Double flared tubing

Do aluminum aircraft fuel lines need to be double flared for AN fittings (37
degree flaring)? There is a significant difference in cost between a single
and double flaring tool. I ran across this in Car Craft magazine:

"Most tubing in the aircraft industry is extruded in one piece with no seam,
so double flares aren't required to prevent crack formation."
