I ran rubber fuel line in my westy conversion to replace the copper.

Found some 200 psi thick walled fuel line and was careful to use rubber
grommets
and tie downs to eliminate movement.
On the low (1psi) side of the regulator its not as scary. would never use on
the high side or off a bottle.

If you use fuel line use fuel injection line its rated much higher pressure
and reinforced.
