Braided Fuel Line Vs Rubber

Found a site that wants 450 550 for hard lines with a corvette filter and compression fittings.

Braided fuel line vs rubber. The early aftermarket response to this rubber fuel line degradation was to use braided steel an hose using a chlorinated polyethylene cpe based material that looks like rubber but was at least for a short time resistant to degradation by fuel and oil. Rubber lines are made in the same way as braided lines. The best in my opinion though. If there s a braided fuel line.

I had one location where i was concerned about kinking of the line so i inserted a section of hard line into the rubber line to prevent that. Hg for inch diameter hose. Rubber line hose ends may be swagged or crimped onto the rubber line. Rubber lines are best used when your high performance vehicle needs a hose to be routed in a difficult place.

Hg for 7 16 inch and smaller inside diameter sizes 10 in. I think i spent just 200 for my ls1 braided steel rubber lines with russell fittings and the corvette filter. The advantage to rubber lines are that they are cheap the alcohol compliant goodyear line is 4 6 a foot depending on size and very easy to work with. Standard neoprene fuel hose can be used for fuel pcv and eec systems on all vehicles where working pressures are under 50 psi or vacuum ratings are under 24 in.

Depending on the rubber line it could withstand. No idea how long it would take my lines to rot out though. Unfortunately changes in fuel blending eventually began to take its toll on this. It works very well.

I read nhra requires braided steel lines ran along the frame rails.
