Default I have to replace the 3 hard fuel lines under car due to rust.

What's the best cost effective suggestion? Or just junkyard them?

Was just going to do this and go braided lines. They make fittings to adapt factory connections to AN. Ended up pulling tank and going cell so will be running braided/AN setup.

You could just use a regular fuel line, that would be a cheaper route. Just need to make sure the clamps to hold it together are good. When I put a newer fuel tank in my 98, I did just that on the back side.

Stainless, aluminum, copper, whatever really.

Steel will always rust at some point unless you can protect it very well.

Or change to PTFE/Teflon lines and AN fittings etc

nylon in a 50' coil is pretty cheap and all parts stores have the quick connect fittings for them

Nylon is very cheap and easy to use.

I just wouldnt trust the push fittings for a fuel system

If there are some proper compression type fittings that also support the hose from the inside then it can be a handy option

They make nylon to hardline compression fittings, use them at work all the time
