I seem to remember somebody mentioning having a copper fuel line
break at one point. I don't remember if that person ever admitted if
they knew the trick to making copper survive as a fuel line (like in
a Model A or a farm tractor is to have a loop in it. The loop takes
up the vibration preventing the issue.
Or at least it has on my Super M for 60 years (hey, 60 years this
year as a matter of fact) but I'll hold out for another 60 before
I'm sure.

Factory was steel tubing on A, B, C, H, and M. (and probably the
later Super series and eve on the x00 (400 for the M) ) I finally
replaced mine with copper last year because it was so hard to keep it
from leaking at the tank end (sediment bowl) and at the carburetor
end. I put a ball valve above the sediment bowl and a tank drain
too, since it sits around most of the time.
