[QUOTE="purpledog07, post: 639777, member: 22687"] I replaced my lines years ago with stainless pipe from the tank to the engine bay, then Cohline bio hose from AFS to pump and carbs. Hard pipe where it passes near the heat exchanger, so less chance of a fire. That section is far more likely to deteriorate due to being exposed to heat and the elements. Used the same branded hose for carb balancing and tank breather lines. Stainless Oetiker clips on most fittings, double clipped where it's possible and stainless pipe clamps where it may need to be removed more often. Go stainless if you can, it's not affected by water, oil or pretty much any chemical and it's far tougher than copper if it gets knocked. A lot of folks seem to think stainless is too expensive but it really will last forever and I think it was way cheaper than the Cohline hose by the metre. Looks much nicer than dirty green copper as well. [/QUOTE]
