google is your friend. try "using cooper for fuel lines" -

seems there are two schools of thought on the subject, but for the most part, folks lean toward not using it. this is one subject where you'll have to do your research, and make your own decision.

morning joe, yeah i did that exact search and it didnt take ling for me to see i should be pulling it out....vibration i guess.
thing is these lines have clearly been here for a ling ling time so i may bump this to low of priority list. problem is that i cant stand the thought of it developing a crack in a line and then burning up. ill probably change it out.
i guess i posted here to see if got any "change it now before you die" type responses.

OP - you've "bothered" the routing already to find out that they're copper so I'd think that you change the "priority" of fuel line replacement. Your "before you die" is maybe an exaggeration BUT then again do you actually want to maybe "roll the dice". I'd think it much easier to do it now during the course of the build.

If it is NOT a factory or a factory Approved material I would replace it, Not to Mention the problems that can raise from Dissimilar Metals at contact Points.
