Tha actual reason not to use copper is the maliability of copper will weaken the tube from vibration and cause catistrophic failure. You will not find anyone in the racing industry using copper fuel lines. You will however find aluminum. Aluminum works great and will not break from vibration. Stainless steel are nice too!
I run Aluminum with AN fittings everywhere. Supply and return. |
