[AT] Diesel fuel line

[Robert L. Holtzer]

I use brass.  Have  yet to see a failure due to vibration.  The 
fittings are basicallly short and stiff -- not too likely to 
flex.  Thin brass, such as on  reloaded firearm cartridges will work 
harden after a few neck resizings and require annealing once in a 
while.  On the other hand, using steel fittings would be nice if available!
