Can you use steel line fuel?
Use it steel, 3/8 line is 3/8 line, brake line is probably just higher quality (cost you more) because it has to take MUCH higher pressure, but it will work fine for gas line, make sure as others said that the rubber hose you use IS GAS hose.25-Jul-2009
What size fuel line do I need for fuel injection?
Fuel Line Sizing Generally speaking, 3/8-inch fuel line is appropriate for most V-6, I-6, and V-8 engines and sometimes 5/16-inch will suffice for the smaller V-6s and I-6s. Likewise, you may want to go to 5/8 line and hose for a high-horsepower V-8.12-Feb-2021
What is the best fuel line material?
PTFEThe best solution is a material called PTFE. That stands for polytetrafluoroethylene—a plastic material that is best known as Teflon in one specific variation. This material is impervious to the degenerative effects of fuel that also creates a vapor barrier so fuel vapors cannot leak past.27-Jun-2017
What metal are fuel lines made of?
You can find fuel lines made of metal, reinforced rubber, or stainless steel. The main reason for leaking fuel lines in metal is corrosion, thus needing replacement after a while.29-Dec-2021
Can fuel line be too big?
Registered. Actually you can have too big a fuel line...if the line is too big and your car accelerates hard yet you don't have a massive fuel pump, you will have the additional weight of the fuel in the line pushing back and fighting the fuel pump which can cause cavitation.26-Jan-2016
How much horsepower will a fuel line support?
A 3/8”id fuel line can easily support 600 HP given sufficient “pump head”! Given a big enough pump a 3/8” steel line could support 1000 HP. The simple way to know is to install an electronic fuel pressure gauge.16-Nov-2012
What tubing is good for gasoline?
It has exceptional resistance to most gasoline, oils, kerosene, and other petroleum-based chemicals, making PU tubing and hose an ideal choice for fuel lines (although additives in today's gasoline and petroleum products warrant field testing).16-Jun-2008
Can fuel line be used as vacuum line?
Neoprene fuel line. ... Standard neoprene fuel hose can be used for fuel, PCV and EEC systems on all vehicles where working pressures are under 50 psi or vacuum ratings are under 24-in. Hg for 7/16-inch and smaller inside-diameter sizes (10-in. Hg for ½-inch diameter hose).05-Dec-2014
What type of tubing is used for gasoline?
Types K and L copper tube (ASTM B 88) and ACR tube (ASTM B 280), up to and including 1-inch outside diameter, have been used in fuel gas systems for many years.
Can you replace metal fuel line with rubber?
Yes, you can, but there are some hazards/risks involved with using rubber fuel line. Sealing is a problem when you don't use hose fittings. Just slipping the hose on steel tube is asking for leaks, many times they are not visible.20-Apr-2006
Can you use copper tubing for a fuel line?
Copper tubing makes an attractive and permanent oil or fuel line and connections. ... To begin with, new copper tubing is much easier to work with than old tubing. This is because it is softer. Old tubing becomes hard and difficult to bend without kinking.
Is diesel fuel line the same as gas?
Fuel lines are the same as far as diesel or gas, but transmission line is different material and for pressure up to 300lb.02-Apr-2010
Info
Where else can you buy aluminum fuel line in the size and length you need? This easy-to-flare and bend tubing works great as AN hard line and will save weight and money.
Notes
The main issue when dealing with aluminum tubing (or any aluminum for that matter) is that it “work hardens” when it flexes, which can lead to cracks. It is important that the hard line is isolated from vibration and movement.
