Stainless fuel pipe
Nitrogeno25 - 29/3/12 at 10:14 PM

I found a supplier for stainless pipe in 3/8" (1mm wall) that I plan to use for my fuel lines. 6 meters at $10 sound cheap enough, I don't know what it is use for. Is there any recommendation for using it?

I plan to flare the ends to fit fuel lines with hose clamps (efi)

Thanks!

Flaring the ends may be a bit tricky as stainless is renowned for being a bit hard! I used a pipe-cutter to score grooves in the ends of my stainless fuel pipes and used good quaility, correctly sized worm-drive clips and they've been fine.
