You can sometimes salvage used fuel lines but it takes some work. The same products used to clean fuel tanks (Eastwood sells a kit for instance) can be used to flush/clean fuel lines of gunk and corrosion. The problem is rust. If you have internal rust there's no telling how much of it there is and if you remove it all successfully you may end up with pin holes. That said if they just have varnish and minor surface rust it's not too difficult to save them. The trouble with some reproduction fuel lines is that they are not all bent precisely and you can have fitment issues.




Thank you for that advice. Im glad you gave me that advice, since I was looking at those particular lines. I do have some 3/8 line in the shed, but these 'cudas look like a real pain to get all the bends just right.
