I have always bought the OE material instead of the Stainless. I had heard that the hardness of the stainless created issues sometimes with getting a good seal at connections. Also, I thought, if the crappy originals lasted 35 years and 80,000 miles, surely the new ones will last longer when it is stored in a climate controlled garage and driven 1500 miles a year.




I have scotch-brited, and cleared OEM lines...

They did not hold up at all...


My experience with SS has been multiple sealing issues...

Flares not as forgiving as 'softer' OEM steel...


My experience with In Line Tube has not been good...



I'm a Fine Line fan. I have bought fuel and brake lines now from them for 3 cars and they all fit fine. I am not a fan of stainless, the first mild steel set lasted 30 years, so...

All fittings should be lubed/oiled before installation. IF YOU DON'T ON STAINLESS THEN YOU DON'T HAVE CHANCE OF MAKING THEM SEAL, IMO...aND LIKE mIKE SAID, NEED A GOOD WRENCH.
