Kind of curious What others out here are using . I am Wanting to replace my old braided fuel line With something new and upgraded Wondering what everyone else has been using and what do you recommend what has been easy and efficient I do run electric fuel pump know my car is not I repeat my car is not feeling ejected it is carbureted Other than stock rubber fuel line that you can get at any auto parts store . I'm curious what others are Using.
 
Stainless steel fuel line, bre bent from inline tube. There are other vendors also
 
I replaced my original steel 5/15" line with cupronickel 3/8". I did the bending myself. It is softer than steel or stainless steel so it is easier to work with and is also corrosion resistant. Because I had installed a rear anti-roll (sway) bar which interfered with the original routing of the fuel line, I wanted to bend my own. Cheers!
 
I have used them all, SS braided, Nicopp, SS hard line, mild steel hard line, pre-bent and self made. Currently, I bend all my own lines and normally I use mild steel. That said, the pre-bent is pretty decent and is very easy/fast to use. Nicopp is good line but I found that it was difficult to get crisp bends but it is easy and forgiving to work with.
 
3/8 SS pre bent from Fine Lines, both feed and return. PTFE SS braided for the flex connections

Are you using good benders?

Stainless all the way with short flex stainless braid connection lines. 1/2 and 1/2 return lines. Then coil over lines for protection from rocks. This is a bastard to do.
