Fuel line -- Poly-Armour?


pklym

Recommended Posts

I was trying to do some research into what kind of fuel line to run for my M42 swap, trying to figure out if zinc-plated steel was acceptable or if it should be stainless steel, (sounds like zinc reacts poorly with diesel, but I couldn't find anything on regular gas, so I assume its fine) when I came across discussions about Poly-Armour.

 

Apparently it is some sort of coated, hand bendable hard line that is really easy to work with. http://agscompany.com/product-category/brake-fuel-transmission-lines/poly-armour/

 

Its available at most of the chain auto parts stores and is cheap.

 

A search of the FAQ reveals zero threads on the subject.

 

Has any one used it? Either for brake or fuel lines?

 

I have access to a bender so I could do steel lines but the Poly-Armour seems appealing. I don't mind the idea of the dark green color under the car.

 

Any thoughts?

I've used the coated stuff-  I think it's also OEM for later cars, for brakes as well.

 

it's fine.

 

I've also made fuel lines out of the zinc- plated stuff and never had trouble.

 

Likewise, aluminum.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
