Apparently the teflon tubing prevents the fuel from permeating through the rubber tubing.
I realize I should run as much hard line as I can because the rubber tubing simply won't last as long and fuel smell can permeate the rubber over time. Should I use the teflon tubing? Can I run it the length of the car and be ok? Any thoughts or experience on this subject?
Thanks,

I always use hard line for the majority of the length, with flexible braided for areas that may have movement. Although I use stainless hard lines which is tougher to work with, aluminum is very forgiving and does a nice job.
