There are good quality replacement steel lines available - I recommend getting the regular steel and not stainless steel. I recently installed and Inline Tube stainless steel fuel line from the pump to the carb. because mine was butchered. The stainless was very hard and when they do the double flare it doesn't collapse as much as the regular steel. I had a hard time getting a good seal at the pump. I was finally able to get it, but only after taking it apart and re-doing the flare in my flare kit.
I bought mine fron Inline also and have had no problems. Mine is the plain steel. What motor and carb combo do you have? I might have a new line for a 350 with a two barrel.
Do you here something?? Sounds like whining! Henry, you need more confidence. Just think of how efficient that fuel filter will be right up there where you can see it. You can always make or buy a fuel line. Jim
Replacement fuel lines don't detract from the value of the car. Don't worry. Stainless is tougher and therefore a little harder to seal. Use the cheaper lines to emulate a "factory-look". Paint 'em if you want them pretty.
SOrry about bringing up on this thread, but I was watching a rerun of "Trucks" and I remembered people said they had problems with stainless steel leaking.
The host mentioned that when using stainless you need a 37 degree single flare with an AN fitting. The 45 degree double flare normally used with mild steel will leak on stainless.
