I used copper nickel lines. Very easy to bend and flare. Just practice a few times with pressure on the hydraulic flaring tool. With a hydraulic flaring tool I was able to do the Quick Disconnect ends for the fuel filter. Do a search in the wheels, tires, brakes section for copper nickel.

try not to faint at the cost of coppernickel lines.1/2" fuel line is like 10$+ a ft.

i think you can buy it from fedhill.com

Hmmmm, I've used copper/nickel on brake lines before and liked it. I may have to check it out for fuel lines too.

I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks

I may think about doing the copper/nickel too. Although not rich, cost is not an issue. I don't mind at all paying for quality stuff.

Exactly. I'll never use anything but the copper/nickel any more. And we're talking about 12 feet of line, max. Fuel line isn't the place to get cheap.

I am really considering using the Cu/Ni for both brake and fuel lines. I'm glad to see others have done fuel lines with good success.
