Fuel Line Connections
I will be connecting the stainless fuel lines running the length of frame,
to my fuel tank connections. What is the best way to make the connections. They were previously done with rubber fuel line. If I use fuel injection rated rubber lines, is that acceptable? It is a lower pressure, mechanical fuel pump set-up. Any info is appreciated.

There is rubber line at the tank and fuel pump connections so that vibration of a 'hard' connection doesn't cause the steel line to fatigue and crack. Some lines at the pump require a molded rubber line in an 'S' shape, so the line doesn't collapse fom the bend. The vendors have them.
