Default Fuel Line VS Brake Line.....

I'm ready to order everything to do the OPS relocate. Can anyone tell me WHY I wouldn't be able to use Steel Braided brake line with -3AN fittings instead of Steel Braides fuel line with -3AN fittings. I was looking at the prices and the Brake line is HALF (if not more) price of Fuel Line and has much more variety in lengths.

Thanks,
Allen

They are the same!!! We use TFE lined SS hose in brakes, fuel and power steering. It's a little over kill for oil but will work just fine!!!
