fuel hardlines

[dive!dive!]

I've been looking into this as my motor will be a meth motor, from what read and who I've spoken too who run meth aluminium isn't all that bad yes you don't want to leave it there for weeks but I think if you flush out with pump gas after you've done all should be well, and at the end of the day you won't be leaving the fuel in the car as it will absorb water. And it not much different to what the guys on race fuel do as most of them drain there tanks after a weekends racing and put in pump gas. I'm planing on having a small second tank with pump gas to start the car one as I will be using a mechanical pump for the efi

I would be very careful using methanol in aluminium pipes. It will definately corrode if left there for any time. There are numerous examples of aluminium filler nozzles corroding away when used to dispense methanol. Given the no holds barred effort you are putting into your car I would have thought stainless would be a good bet ?
I'm personally going to use kunifer lines in mine but it will never see meth!

Hi

Most of the soft aluminum lines designed for racing are coated with a plastic liner inside.
Yes     corrosion is a big issue with an uncoated aluminum.
No      I never had problems with fuel lines.

Hi , nice topic and congrats for the work on the tunnel Danny !
I used a copper central heating tube and placed it along the tunnel on the inside passenger side , so I'm sure it doesn't get nicked from the outside while still using the Bug on the road too !
I finished off with flex fuel hose on both sides .
I used a fuel line quick disconnector (male and female) salvaged on a VW/Audi fuel line on the engine side for easy disconnection while pulling the engine.
