Fuel Line

[Plymouth3596]

Im looking to replace my fuel line in my 87 Gran Fury is it ok to use aluminum fuel line? I never have before.

tube is tube. aluminum doesn't bend very nicely. tends to crack when it has had enough movement. use some copper/steel line instead

ok thanks- its 3/8" for the car right

Depends on what line. Use the new easy to bend stuff.

You get what you pay for, the cheap stuff can start rusting pretty quickly.

I'm thinking factory was all 5/16"...no?

Anyways, if you go bigger that's no problem (nor value add) providing that you match up correctly at both ends, meaning: good hose clamp and carb fitting match.

But to avoid all that trouble I'd rather run with a factory size.

Yeah I'd stick with 5/16" steel line for that application, you can get good pre-bent stuff from Classic Industries or just get straight sections from NAPA and bend it yourself.
