Anyone ever use polyethelene tubing from the building supply store? Is this what the factory fuel lines are made of? I want to finish the work on the tunnel and this is one of the things I need to take care of. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

QUOTE Rich said: Like I said I was looking for facts based on knowledge not speculation. For facts and knowledge, one would need to contact the manufacture of the tubing, just by going on the premise that someone here said they have used it with no problem is not good enough when it comes to safety unless a large enough majority in varieing enviroments have tested this tubing. Also, the tubing from HD might be different coast to coast. One thing I do not like about the plastic line is that you have no ridge or lip for the hose and clamp to secure against. If you use a regular cheap @ss hose clamp you have a great chance of the hose slipping off of the tubing....I've had this happen with the factory plastic line since the PO used the wrong hose clamp. If you or anyone switches to a hard line (SS, Copper, Aluminum, etc....) a small flare should be made at the end of the line. You have too much work into your car to save $5 bucks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
