Fuel Line Material
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:31 pm
Hi folks,
I'm making up some fuel lines for my Golf currently, I bought copper fuel line and have been bending it in to lines to suit the new fuel injection set up. However, I've got a couple of questions - firstly, is copper pipe ideally suited to the exposed position of the lines on the Golf:

And also, as I need more material is it ok to use stuff such as this from B&Q? The pipe I initially bought was from eBay and mainly just so I could get some practice cutting and bending it, and as it was dubbed 'fuel line' it's a bit more expensive than the hardware store variety. I have my doubts as to whether there's much difference, but I also have no intention of becoming a hurtling fireball any time soon so thought it was worth an ask first
Cheers,
Josh
