can you run fuel pipes together?

As above, are there any rules about fuel pipes(copper nickel type0 touching(feed and return) running from the tank to the fuel rails?

Nope just need P clipping properly

Cheers for that, i'm actually using cable tie bases that i've riveted to the chassis.... I know cars have passed IVA with them.

not a good idea to have them touching thou

vibration will eventually rub through them.

I was going to use some thin sticky back foam between them to stop any vibration rubbing.

I would run them separate, and use rubber linings on P clips (i.e cut down rubber hose, or rubber lined P clips).... Mine has the return and feed with two separate rubber lined P clips on the same rivet the pipes are thus physically separate and soft mounted.. Not sure I would want to mount with cable ties in direct contact with the Cu pipe..
