I've seen some aluminum fuel lines used, and I'm not sure I like the idea but there is probably nothing wrong with them. I would use plenty of rubber cushioned clips to keep it from flopping around and rubbing on stuff. I have some more 3/8" fuel lines to make, I'll try some copper nickel lines this time, also called cupronickel and Cunifer. Do a search on ebay UK, that's where I've seen the best prices even with shipping over here. Here's some more about it, and my thoughts: https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...g&topic=0&Search=true#Post487333Grigg | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 | Aluminum works fine, been using it for years. A new coil wasnt much more than $20 at my local carquest.

Grigg -i think your right about keeping it in place,cuchion clips would definatley be a must
i'll do some more checking this might be the way to go......................dave

However, neither are recommended for the E85 stuff! Be sure to use the E10 rated blue-lined flexible rubber lines as vibration isolators. We've noted that the non-E10 rated lines go soft when subjected to E10 blended fuel. It might be a seemingly insignificant detail until your ride goes up in smoke.
