I bought the new Aeromotive Stealth EFI fuel tank along with their Fittings, and now I need to get my fuel lines replaced.
I have read good things about PTFE lined fuel lines like Pegasus..
I would like to get Pegasus PTFE lined ones but as per their instructions I must use their fittings as well.
My question is what other alternative PTFE lined fuel line can use with the Aeromotive fittings that I have bought already?
I appreciate your input guys

I actually just installed this tank in my '69. You only need to use the Aeromotive O-ring fittings (6AN male-to-male) to create the 3 male 6AN outlets on the sending unit. Then you're free to hookup whatever set of 6AN PTFE female fittings and PTFE hose that you like to those 6AN male outlets. I think I went with 1 straight and 2 45 degree hose endings. You just have to make sure that you match the manufacturer of your PTFE hose endings and PTFE hose. You can't mix and match on those. I found Earl's PTFE line(teflon inner liner, static dissipating) and PTFE fittings to be the least expensive, but their hose endings are a bit of pain to install. The Aeroquip line and hose endings(Super Gem) are actually less expensive and easier to install, but they don't have the inner liner so it shouldn't be used in long lengths. Now, if you're looking for black PTFE hose and fittings, that's a different story. That gets pricey. I used 'reusable'(non-crimp) fittings and just a cutoff wheel and a vice(and some electrical tape when cutting and water for lubricant) to create all my hoses and none of them leaked with the exception of one Super Gem fitting that had a manufacturing/maching defect in it which I replaced. Takes a bit of time but nothing heroic.
