Re: [MBZ] OT - home hot and cold water filters update
Without a nonconductor between them, electrolysis will rust away (erode) the iron. When dissimilar metals are in contact with each other, electrolysis (natural reaction/flow of electrons between them) erodes the less noble metal.

Re: [MBZ] OT - home hot and cold water filters update
How about aluminum and brass? I'm working on a plan to replace most of the rubber fuel lines in the engine compartment of my Vanagon. I am planning to use aircraft fuel line and fittings (aluminum) but I have not been able to find fuel hose barbs in anything but brass. Can brass fittings be used with aluminum, or do I need to keep looking?

Re: [MBZ] OT - home hot and cold water filters update
You just clamped the hose right to the pipe? Was this a carbureted application? Mine is fuel injected, I need a connection that will take some pressure which is why I would at least want some kind of a bead at the end of the pipe, if not a proper hose barb. I was looking at their 9929T123 aluminum tubing. What's the advantage of steel, wouldn't it be more prone to corrosion?

Allan Streib wrote: You just clamped the hose right to the pipe? Was this a carbureted application? Low pressure TBI. The factory pipe had a bubble flare at the end and a bump 1 back, you'd slide the hose to the 2nd bump and clamp in between. My replacements only had the bubble flare on the end. With a hose clamp behind a slight bubble flare, it's not going anywhere. Alternately, you could do it like brake line and use flare fittings. That should be good for 2000psi or so. Doing it the way I did it, with bubbles on the end of the steel tube and clamping 100psi reinforced fuel hose to it, should be fine for any gasoline fuel system I know of.

I'm not so sure the aluminum stuff wouldn't corrode too, and it's more susceptible to fatigue fracture, but nowhere near as bad as copper.
