Default Polishing Fuel Lines, etc. ?
I've got some time to spare and the engine compartment is open (cam and head swap). Has anyone polished their various steel fuel lines, air cond. lines, etc. ? I would think steel wool would work well but will the tubing tarnish or rust after abrading? Thanks, Jack

Most lines (A/C, etc.) are aluminum, so polishing them won't hurt.... :thumbs:
