Jegs & Moroso AL lines both say not for high pressure fuel injection systems. Russell AL lines say 250psi. Anybody know the difference?

Anybody run AL lines on an injected car?

I have them on my car. No problems for two years. Not sure what the danger would be. I got the plain unanodized stuff from Summit.

I have red aluminum line on my fuel system (49psi) and also use it for my remote trans filter and cooler (80psi max cold) and it has worked great so far. You need to be careful bending it just like any other tube but other than that it will work great. Don't know where they go the idea it would be unsafe for fuel line which is generally under 100psi.

Jegs just told me 25psi max. Guess this line is only good for a return on FI cars.

My guess is that the aluminum would be too likely to split at one of the bends. Last thing you need is fuel spraying all the over the place.

I used the stainless steel line from summit. It is anealed to be softer, and bends easire than regular steel, but tougher than aluminum, has niced polished finish too. I used alukinum for the return. make sure it is clamper every 18" or so so it won't fatigue and split. My 2c

I used SS line. If you get good benders (like Rigid) and flaring tools (like Imperial) it's not that much harder than bending aluminum. I ended up using the cheap soft aluminum tubing to work out the kinks (so to speak) and then made my real lines with stainless.

My biggest problem with the aluminum tubing was that it was shipped as a coil, and getting it straight was nearly impossible.
