I need to replace the fuel line from the pump to the carb on my 460. It now has an alumnum tube. Any problem useing rubber fuel line instead.

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 06-Apr-02 AT 08:14 PM (EST)]If a hold-down breaks and that rubber hose rests itself near your manifold, you might have some problems

That and having the hose chafe on a frame rail or something could pose problems. I'd stick with solid line in the appropriate places.

Graffe.

edit: I re-read your post and I see you said from your pump to your carb. I'm not positive of the routing so you might want to wait for a few more posts before making a decision.

 

You can use the rubber fuel line. I'd go with the braided fuel line though to help keep the vaporization down before it reaches the carb. I have this on my motor and have yet to have a problem with it.

Is the aluminum line a dealer part or do I have to bend and flair????
