    I'm really struggling here! I picked out the PTFE hose, fittings and clamps to the tune of $83 plus shipping, which is too close to a $100 bill and as I look at the chassis I quite honestly cannot see any way that a tire could ever throw anything up against the top of the frame rail. It would take a multiple bank shot to get there! Then there's Mike saying he's been running his aluminum line for several years, and Jim saying that he doesn't see a problem.... I totally understand the issue of ethanol erosion, but I run ethanol free fuel (assuming it's truly ethanol free), so that's a non-issue. Bottom line, it's one piece of tube 10' long with PTFE hose connecting tank to hard line, and hard line to pump. If it needs to be changed later it's a drop dead simple swap - use the same threaded holes, change out to larger clamps and swap in PTFE.

    I'm using what I've got for now, and can change it later if needed. I'll keep my $100 for something else.

    Now to make a one time use tube straightening jig! Again, thanks for the input!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
