5/8 aluminum fuel line
 

Has anyone used the 5/8 or -10 aluminum hard line instead of the stainless braided? Just looking for pros and cons. Thanks for any input.

I've heard it likes to crack

I've heard that it cracks when you flare it. Aero quip has a fitting that doesn't require a flare. Just looking for a cheaper alternative than the braided.

We've had success with that line on "Project Flashpoint". We made the run with two pieces. Used tube nuts and 37 degree flares. Worked like a charm.:unibrow:

Did you warm the end before you flared? Do you remember what brand tubing it was?

The brand is Moroso, the tube nuts were XRP. I used an Imperial 37 degree flaring tool and believe it or not a conduit bender.:D

Thanks. I appreciate the info.

Another option is stainless fuel line. Aluminum line might work for a race car, but it is poor choice for a street car.

Anyway, here is a thread on it, in the past. Just search on Bentfab. He can provide more input on what tools to use, etc.

Just wanted to add that was 5/8 aluminum fuel line. Good luck with your project.:cheers:

I saw his post, but it sounds like a street car. https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=38376

Aluminum is bad idea on a street car. You can do regular hardline as well.
