Is there any reason that I should not use copper tube for splicing gas line? I'm not sure if gas does magical things to copper so I figured someone in here should know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
I layed my fuel line around the front of the engine thinking "it has a perfect little shelf to rest on." (dumbshitmove) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Well... too much slack and it vibrated down on to the fan pully & scored a nice little leak. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) The 1.7 I had in there didn't have as much exposed pully area but this 2.0 sure does. I'm moving it away from that place of residence real fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) .........b |

depends on your definition of short and how you do the splice....if using rubber hose, the hose will or should flex enough to not cause any problems with the copper tubing......you'd have to have the copper tubing mounted solid and many, many feet long or if you have lots of twists and turns for it to be a problem.........
