Fuel LIne question? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72superBB · 07-20-2004, 09:27 PM

I am going to be redoing my fuel tank trom the cab to under the bed with a tank from a 70 burb.

My question is this:

Is there a problem with using all rubber fule lines to replace all the metal ones?

or

How should I do it?

Just go with metal or what?

thanks

Ron

I just put a Blazer tank on my truck. I used Braided steel hose. It may cost a little more, but is a whole lot safer than just running rubber line. Plus it will hold up to the weather a little better. And it looks cooler.

I've run Braided line on my drag car for years with now problems.

Rubber is not safe--especially after aging a few years--Use steel or braided.
