[AT] From "Farm Collector" - using copper tubing for fuel lines.

[charlie hill]

I guess I should start visiting the junk yards and cutting the lines off of 
those Euro-cars.  grins

If you only need a short section just "borrow" it from a Mercedes, Aston
Martin, Jaguar, Mabach or Lamborghini.  They have been using it for years...

Really nice stuff to work with, flares and bends as easy as copper and
seals VERY well. Not real cheap but because of the benefits I try to
keep it on hand for brake work on my vehicles. NY salt will eat a steel
line in 3-4 years. I have used stainless for this but that stuff is a
real PIA to work with in any alloy that is truly rustproof.
