Default Re: Pump to carb L-T1, fuel lines, repo ok???

I hear some people have trouble with stainless steel lines leaking. The theory is that the SS is harder and does not seal as well as the softer steel line in the compression fittings. Other people say no problems with SS line leaking.

Stainless is a pain....very tough to seal....even with correct tools its very tough.

I bought my lines from a Corvette supply house, I think in the Oregon area. Fit perfect. Their's had the correct double bend at the fuel pump and the gentle bend that snakes around the water pump correctly.
