Subject:Re: Replacing fuel lines with Copper tubing/Steel braided lines?

I suspect that the copper lines would be subject to cracking at some
point, due to vibration. The braided lines, however, are another matter.
This type of line is used for both hydraulics and for fuel on aircraft.
It is tough, and handles vibation well.
