Re: Can i use a rubber hose opposed to the metal fuel line??

Rubber is cheap trouble...as stated.
Metal is good, but inverted flare fittings have to be tightened too much and sometimes strip our the soft carb inlet or the nut fitting turn round.

You can't beat SS braided hose with AN fittings. It is strong, flexible, tough, insulated, looks good, easy to add an inline filter, and you don't have to tighten it much.
Edelbrock has some cool fittings that attach to their carbs and are made for braided lines. It works on all engines.
