Yes it's rubber, thanks to all for the advice, I need to take another look at the line, perhaps I can re-arrange it somehow.

I have seen two braided hoses transferring electrical shorts or static charges. Consider the block moving under acceleration also.

Scala, Jr. Sent: Monday, January 10, 2011 5:31 PM To: Chevelle-List Subject: [Chevelle-list] Fuel Line I have a 71 with a small block. I am creating a new fuel line from the pump to the carburetor using a braided steel line and aluminum fittings. My question is, the lower radiator hose touches the fittings and line, is this acceptable or does the entire run need to be unobstructed? It touches a little bit, not pressing on the line or fitting. Thanks!
