Copper coating helps prevent rust? I've seen this kind of thing before. A magnet is definitive. All my 36 HP motors had steel for both the gas line and the distributor vacuum line, compression fittings everywhere.
Overtightening compression fittings is a common error - they seal with moderate tightening, but get bent out of shape if cranked on. The failure is the pipe itself getting crushed. A properly tightened compression fitting does not deform the pipe noticeably.
