Fuel Line Type
Fuel Line Type I checked the fuel injection forum and found some conflicting answers on this. Has anybody here plumbed their restromod with flexible fuel line... tank to fuel rail? What did you use? Summit has their 6an kit with braided hose, but the rubber inner liner don't hold up well with ethanol blends. I may use it anyway, but I was wondering what others on here have use. Thanks
This subject has been discussed many times, a quick search will bring up results. This is the most recent discussion. Hope it helps.

After reading through the link from Mike I think I would like to go nylon too. The braided rubber looks nice but the rubber breaks downs. The PTFE fittings are a pain. I think the nylon looks quick and easy. My only concern is protection of the line and heat in the engine bay. Would you post pics of yours when done?
fuel line Looks like I'm the only one that used 3/8" brake line!!! The olive drab SAE line at Auto Zone seems a little softer, easy to bend and a dream to double flare. I put a bubble flare on the end and add barbed fittings and attach FUEL INJECTION rubber hose to the fuel rail. The fuel injection rubber hose is a little pricey but never had a problem with it breaking down from fuel additives.
