Fuel Lines
What's the best fuel line to use. I was going to use copper. It is for fuel injection.
What sort of connections would copper use and where's the best place to buy?
Cheers,
Neil

I just bought a roll of 8mm copper from B&Q.
No issues at sva and non since.I am swapping to injection
shortly and am going to flush the lines and solder olives onto the
ends of the pipe,to keep the rubber hose on.

8mm copper/kunifer with brass compression fittings designed rubber hose ends:
Like here
The fittings cost a couple of quid each and are available from most caravan/motorhome shops. No soldering required.

Would these fittings meet the IVA approval for fuel injection?

Or use an 8mm brake pipe flaring tool to fut a flare on each end of the pipe before connecting the hose
