Thinking of going with steel braided fuel lines.....

Found this on Amazon. Figured I'd use it in replacement of rubber line from pump to filter to end of dual feed....I plant to go back plastic filter since I learned glass can break....Good idea ???? Suggestions??? What else might I need???

Re: Thinking of going with steel braided fuel lines.....

The braiding doesn't do squat for the cheap rubber inside of it when using cheap parts.

There is a reason quality braided fuel line is expensive. It requires a high quality hose initially & then the added protection of the SS braiding on top.

Standard, current, fuel injection spec or diesel spec rubber hose works better vs standard cheap/generic 3/8" fuel hose w/o the expense or hassle of the braided cover.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
