I see a few companies are selling new stainless steel fuel lines, new fuel lines on our 50 years old cars is generally not a bad idea, but how about if they appear to be in good condition? The feed line on our car is about 10mm OD with a 1mm wall. While we are in there should they be replaced for good measure.
Thanks |

It's actually hard to get solid mag to catch on fire. I heat the cylinder bore on mag cases with a mapp torch to loosen head studs on 911 engines. No problem hitting the mag for 2 minutes with a very hot flame. It's the raw gas spraying under pressure that really fuels the fire.
