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 |

I had to chime in here.
I got reamed for doing my car with flexible copper tubing. This is the same type of tubing that is used in most oil fired funace installations, some of which are well over 50 years old with no breaks, no leaks and little worries. The type of bends and twists make it usable provided you do not kink it or create a weakness in the tubing structure. I am sure that alot of the technology that is used in todays most expensive automobiles would not be acceptable to use in todays modern airlines...but these are cars, not planes... Rich |
