Title: Fuel Line ? Steel or Copper
Post by: Articifer Tom on March 31, 2019, 03:54:24 PM

If I were re-doing mine, I would use copper/nickel alloy tubing which is readily available almost everywhere...has the copper look for the most part.

I have steel, which believe is original.  Of course this doesn't mean yours was.  The Dodge boys on AACA should know.

The gas line on my 30-U is original and is steel.  It runs to the vacuum tank on the firewall unlike your set up with a fuel pump but using copper tubing for a fuel line may not be the best choice in any event as it can work harden from vibration and crack over time.
