fuel line question again

[paul2112]

Hi, I did a search on replacing my copper (original) fuel line in my Newman boat, and found this question was asked a lot..Copper fuel line doesnt sounds like its the thing to use, nor S.S , but what about aircraft grade aluminum fuel line..For my application Im wanting to go from the fuel tank, to selector valve, to fixed point(from there it goes flex to fuel pump) Any ideas? Thanks again

I have used copper line for years. There is nothing that I know that would cause a problem. Unless you dont isolate the motor from the line with a flex line. The engine vibrations could crack a stiff mounted line.
