Fuel line options.
I bloody hate copper microbore, any other cheapish ways to do the fuel runs down the tunnel?
I'm tempted to just use rubber hose all the way, but risky if it rots.
Ideas?

I suppose that you could use the hard nylon type oem fuel line tube that some makers use, but copper for me every time.

hmmm, rubber will rot and split where ever it is, ie, between tank and pump, copper and carbs, so you may as well use rubber all the way. just
remember to keep and eye on it

There is more of it to rot a split if you use it between tank and carbs , if it is such a good idea why don't manufacturers use it?

true there's more of it, but i still stand by it, its as likely to split anywhere as it is at the tank or carb if thats the only place you use
it.
manufacturers don't use it coz steel pipe is cheaper (£'s cheaper i reckon), even if it was a few pence cheaper on each car, thousands of
cars makes a big saving. after its off the showroom its the owners problem when it rusts though where the water collects in the pipe clips. guess who
that happened too outside tescos?

Haven't seen steel fuel pipes on tin tops for years now , they all seem to have plastic pipes . I do see a few having worked in the motor trade
for over 40 years and I for one would not fit hose to the entire system especially down a tunnel where it cannot be checked easily. If you want to rum
hose use Aeroquip !

Ended up buying some kunifer, hoping it'll keep a bit better than the furry copper I'm annoyed at 
Other options were gonna be a bit tight around the diff.
