None of it is plastic I don't think. 99% is steel line from the tank to the engine compartment. Just a short section of rubber line at each end.

Use steel or steel braided rubber hose if you are plumbing new lines.

No plastic, use stainless braided line with the teflon on the inside. Expensive but worth it.

Default are you sure

In the 04 gto that I got mine from everything seem's to be plastic.
coming off the fuel rail they are plasitic
The stock fuel pump assembly all plastic lines.


?fuel lines? so does any one have any idea what kind of plastic it is.

I might just run some experiments ( leave a couple samples in some gas jars for a couple weeks and look for any signs of degrading.)
