Howard, Just as an aside, my 61 sprite has had a copper fuel line since I got it with no ill effects. And you can tell by looking it has been on it for several several years prior to me getting it. My '66 spitfire has copper from the fuel pump halfway to the carbs (rubber the other half). I took this piece off a donor vehicle because it was prebent. I don't have any idea how long it was on it. I've put more miles on the spit this year than I ever have before with no fuel problems.
Also, my house is heated with LP gas. It is pretty similar to gasoline in composition. The 100' or so line from the tank to the house was installed in copper by the gas company. So, I don't think the petroleum attacks copper. Although, I, like you have heard that it does. It very well may be an urban legend.... Still going to the Indy British car days sept 21? If so, see you there... Bill <SNIP> I also ran the gas line from the back carb to the front carb using copper tubing. Is it OK to use copper tubing for the fuel supply line, or should I use something line a stainless steel brakeline? <SNIP> /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
