Re: Fuel line same as brake line? here
But maybe this is some amendment?
Brake lines use the same material and same type flares as OEM fuel lines.
Furthermore, how much pressure will a compression fitting hold? Compression fittings are the perfect choice for high pressure applications. In combination with a high pressure tubing material like steel, large compression fittings can often be used at pressures in excess of 10,000 psig.
Having said that, plastic has no place in the pressure line from the pump, brass is OK if you must do it that way. I would hard line it all the way from the pump to carb inlet for safety. Rubber fuel line has been used forever by all manufacturers.
Herein, why can't you use compression fittings on brake lines?
Classic Tube offers rolls of steel, stainless steel, and aluminum tubing you can custom bend and flare to your liking. This makes perfect sense if you're restoring an obscure muscle car for which Classic Tube may not stock prebent lines. You also have the option of shipping your existing brake and fuel lines to Classic Tube, where they will be used as a template to make new lines. If you don't have the old lines, you can send Classic Tube your specifications, and the company will bend and form lines to your blueprint.
12. This is the initial bubble flare created by the first 3/8-inch die, which sets the walls up for 45-degree roll-in. here
11. First order of business in flaring is to use the proper die. This die executes the initial bubble flare where the first wall of a double 45-degree flare gets rolled inward. here
There are four types of hard line used for braking systems: steel, soft steel, stainless steel, and nickel-copper alloy. Each has it’s benefits and drawbacks.
Spring-type – This is a very basic bender meant mainly for copper and aluminum tubing. There are two types, internal or external. Both prevent the tube from collapsing and kinking while hand bending. Best for gentle, large diameter bends. here
Lever-action – This type of tool uses mechanical advantage to make bending lines easier. While the tubing can still rotate (allowing complex layouts become out of line), it is easier to manage with a lever-action bender. Lever-type benders typically have multiple diameter positions, and marking for varying degrees of bend. Most of these tools are designed for specific radius bends, there are tools for tight bends, tools for large bends. You can manipulate this to a degree by repositioning the line, making a larger radius, but you can’t make a smaller radius than the tool you have. Side note – The cheap version of lever-action benders that have an interchangeable die do not work very well, they will usually just kink your line. here
