I'm starting my conversion back to EFI and noticed that the plastic fuel lines running through the tunnel are not in bad shape. I'm tempted to use them as is. Anyone on the board have experience with the longevity of these plastic lines? If they are an accident waiting to happen, I'll replace them with SS.

I used an aluminum return line when I put FI in my Mustang. No cracks, but there was a spot where it could rub on a parking brake cable, and it was starting to wear a groove in it. The aluminum is really soft, and I suspect that wear is the biggest danger. |
