Thread: Figuring out fuel line size?

Tweet

Are we talking about the same thing guys? Nobody, at least nobody I've checked, (summit, jegs, two local speed shops) has 1/2" steel, let alone stainless steel. biggest summit has is 3/8". aluminum in 1/2 yes, braided in 1/2 yes. that's it though. braided is 4x as much money, but if that is the best way to go I'd rather do it now than down the line.

unless you gents have a lead on where to get the steel from?

I like stainless but Russel or Earl's aluminum line will work fine. After all it's SAE approved and you're not going to be messing around with the fuel line that much so work hardening/galling issues are secondary. BTW most all the braided hose fittings are aluminum as well.

1/2" is what you need, Nothing wrong with aluminium line if its supported with good clips every 15", it will only fracture if its not supported and allowed to vibrate.
My personal fave is stainless, you need to look for double annealed stainless as its bendable.
