A compression fitting is only rated for 100psi in normal use. So it's fine for fuel line repair. An automotive braking system can produce anywhere from 1200 to 2000 PSI. No legitimate garage would use a compression fitting on a brake line, though quite a few shade tree "mechanics" do. It will start leaking, or blow out, possibly causing a crash. So best advice is, DON'T DO IT.
