Copper acts as a catalyst for gum formation in the presence of ethanol in gasoline. I would avoid it if possible.
It could accelerate injector plugging.Bill Harvey

That stuff is pretty tough, but I cannot say for sure. I would first ask Autometer.
Swagelok sells 1/8" OD stainless steel tube that is not too expensive and is easy to use.Bill Harvey

You're going to need a TON of fuel in your mapping to get it started in colder conditions.
