fuel lines

[j0ff]

The metal fuel lines on my car are in perfect condition, except for the last 12 inches or so as they near the tank. They have corroded quite badly here and i'd like to replace them.

I had intended to simply cut them short to remove the corroded bit and replace with fuel hose (since the last few inches is bog standard fuel hose where it connects to the tank).

Is there a better way of doing this? If I were to replace the whole run from front to back, what should it be replaced with?

not sure but it might be the same as the metal brake pipe?

 

[j0ff]

the brake pipe is smaller bore

or some thing like this but not sure you would want to use it the full length of car?

hmm, that's an idea, but i'd have to get the flaring kit for the larger bore pipe too - i've got it all for brake pipe already.

No, either want to replace just the corroded bit with fuel hose, or replace the lot with something more hardy than rubber.
