#125952 eblack (User) Don't force things, just use a bigger hammer Junior Boarder Posts: 118 copper fuel line 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   Can I use copper tubing as a fuel line or will the fuel corrode it? I see it all over the custom show curcuit. But what about long term effects? -Ted   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #125957 eirinn99 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 144 Re:copper fuel line 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   I don't think it's a good idea, especially if you ride also during winter.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #125958 silvasilv (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 427 Re:copper fuel line 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   i have definitely seen it done, dont know about coppers properties, but if you do use it make sure you dont hard mount it, have to use rubber hose leading into the copper so it doesnt snap from vibration   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #125962 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation! Moderator Posts: 4701 Re:copper fuel line 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago   I've seen copper oil lines , but fuel....... Fuel doesn't freeze , so that is a non-issue , but I'm not sure the line could handle the gas from a corrosion standpoint. A little FYI on copper , I work for a commercial plumbing co. and can tell you that copper won't even stand up to urine. We plumb urinals with brass for the first few feet , as the urine eats through copper. Just a thought.

So, if you install copper lines, start with brass in-case somebody pee's on your bike... Rich   Logged     2008 Road Star Polished Tricky Air Ride(remote controlled) Chrome Wheels & stuff...
