hard Fuel line

[hotrod56]

Suggestions on 1/2" hard fuel line.

Aluminum
Steel
Stainless
Copper-nickel (can only find one distributor - stop shop. Earls only makes up to 3/8 and I wonder why)

Why one option over another?



Where would you get it?

you know that is pretty nice. Making my stainless steel line was such a pain

I used aluminum on my car for fuel, I'm using nicopp for brakes, and tranny cooler lines.

I used NiCopp for my fuel lines and found them to be very easy to work with. I actually used a stock line as a model to bend up the NiCopp, which made for a nice clean fit. The NiCopp is also less reactive with fuel and the road grime that will inevitably contact the outside of the lines. There is a-lot of info on the site about it if you search. I also recommend the Rigid tool flaring tool if you are going to use AN fittings.

I got nicopp for basically everything. Seems pretty easy to make look nice

This was my first time doing brake/fuel lines. Used nicopp for everything. It was super easy to bend and flare. Also, so far no leaks. Really made it a pleasurable experience.

I used aluminum for my fuel lines, but at the time I don't think NiCopp had been invented yet LOL.
I have since used NiCopp on smaller jobs and will use it rather than aluminum next time.
NiCopp also polishes up nice. Use some fine polishing compound then apply a bit of wax.

How does it age? I've seen some in people's cars turn greenish

I haven't had any problems with tarnishing. The wax may have helped with that. I do get a bit of haze on it but a quick buff with a clean cloth brings it back.
