Hey fellas:
I just pulled my fuel lines out this afternoon and they didn't look bad at all... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Oh well, so now I begin the effort to getting the new lines in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I've scoured the archives and read about a few different alternatives of types of lines to use. The PP tech article talks about steel brake lines. I've heard copper is not a good idea. I heard that the aluminum tubing is a good choice too. Aluminum sounds to me like it might be the easiest to install, due to not having to use a bender. What about the original plastic type lines. I think I read this is NLA. Is this true? This looks like a real bitch of a job anyway. Trying to fish the line through the grommets without being able to see where you're going and that distance - yikes!!... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Is there a final word on what is the best and where did you get the supplies? Also, any other tips and techniques from those of you that have done this before? I've read dish soap to help slide the tubing... Thanks in advance for any help! Andy... |

I'm looking into the black plastic lines that Porsche currently uses on ALL their Porches. I *think* I have a source in the UK that will supply them.
