What would be best type of fuel line to use for replacing the fuel line from front to rear on a mini . I need to replace the fuel line from 1/4 inch to 5/8 inch and also run a return line to the tank. Would copper tubing work ? How much tubing would I need to do it? |

1. Do not use copper for fuel or brake lines, it work hardens with age and vibration, then cracks. 2. Surely you mean 5/16", not 5/8"... 
3. I bought 4M of aluminium coated? steel tube off a roll at Robbos Spare parts years ago, I dunno who has it now. It bent pretty easy. Try someone with brains, like not Supercrap... |

Is it called "bundy tubing" different to what doc said but it is good for fuel. |

yeah i normally use Bundy tube & then use a sheath of fuel hose over the top of that,,, keeping both ends outside each front & rear fire walls,,, that way even if somehow the bundy tube cracks/snaps/tears the fuel still can`t get into the cabin Repco sell rolls of the tube & rolls of fuel hose |
