NEVER USE COPPER LINES FOR FUEL IN A LOT OF STATES IT IS AGAINST THE LAW.

Still have the original copper ones in my  1928 Essex, never had problems.

I use conifer tubing. It is a softer material than steel, and is easier to bend. It was designed to be used for fuel and brake lines, and comes in all the popular sizes, just like the steel lines. My second choice would be steel. Many of the auto parts stores that I frequent have replaced their steel tubing with conifer. It has an almost nickel plated look to it that I like as well.

Sorry about the wrong information on copper lines Paul it is what happens when you start ageing any way it is the brake lines that should never be made out of copper I looked up the law as for me I had all my lines fuel and brake lines made out of stainless steel never have to worry about rust.
