Steel or metal?

I used the larger size break lines. Figured if it could handle the preasures of a break system, fuel would be no problem. Also easy to find fittings.

I used all -8 AN fittings.

AN fittings, and the stainless braided hose that goes with it, can be had from any of the racing parts places:

Summit Racing
Jegs
Pegasus Racing
Everyone Else

You can also find it in your local speed shops.

The stuff is made, basically, by:

Earls
Russell
Aeroquip

With Aeroquip being the best quality IMHO.

I used Stainless with aircraft fittings.

Went right up to the engine and then Earls SS flex line to the block.

Just my $0.02

do not use copper "metal", it will get hard under vibration and crack - well, that's what I heard.

use aluminum, 1/2" OD for strong motors

with fuel-injection make sure your retuen line is also big enough - not 5/16"!
