Default seamless vs welded stainless tubing

Looking to order some tubing to finish up my fuel lines.

Can I use .020 wall annealed welded tube if I'm going to 37' flare it, or do I need thicker wall?, seamless?

You need seamles tubing, welded tube will have booger on the inside and you will _never_ make it seal.

I usually use .035"

Doing it home with .028 wall it will most likely collapse on you in the middle of a bend. I sell and use .035 wall seamless tube.

Give me a buzz at the shop tomorrow and I can help you out with any questions or help guide you in the rite direction
