Copper is a perfectly fine material for fuel lines (has been in use for decades on some models), but it is more expensive than steel lines to manufacture so it isn't seen in use as much. It is also much easier to damage/bend which isn't always the best thing for an engine compartment. Where it does shine though is trying out new fuel line routings. Try different arrangements to see if this or that way works better for you, and once you finalize your design, you can duplicated it in steel for the permanent replacement. -Vegaman Dan --------------------- This message has been sent by Dan Canaan, aka Flinthoof.
