The correct fuel line is copper coated steel. We get them from C&G. They .are complete with the end fittings. Copper is not suitable for fuel lines as it fatigues and cracks easily. The copper coating is to lessen rust from moisture in the fuel. Unfortunately, alcohol laced fuels have excess moisture, resulting in more fuel line replacement than was usual. If the performance of your vehicle begins to degrade, particularly on hard pulls, you may be in for a new line.
