I've been running braided line on my car for years. One thing to
keep in mind is that it is a maintenance item. It will deteriorate
over time. The inside lining will deteriorate and put nice rubber
chunks in your needle/seats. I "knock on wood" have had the current -
8 feed and return in my car for a decade w/o problems but I keep it
moving and up until this winter it has been in a heated garage.
Many problems I have seen have come from cars sitting w/o gas in
the lines. The rubber dry rots and will clog the regulator or
needle/seats.
