Flexible fuel line..........12 " max.
But they do not consider braided to be flexible.
I am not sure what the ruling would be for push lock .........the braiding is internal on this stuff.
I'm pretty sure it depends on just how much the company which manufactures the line in question spends with them via contingency , event sponsorship and etc.

Except where it passes by the bellhousing area where it has to be steel or steel breaded line.

It's still legal...it just needs to be protected by 1/8" thick steel tubing in the bellhousing area.
