Re: concerns about flare fitting on fuel pump and carburetor

I've come to appreciate the copper-nickel line. Some people have used plumbing copper tubing for brakes and fuel, which is a big mistake. It will work-harden from vibration and eventually crack. The high nickel content in the NiCopp tubing eliminates that. I personally do not like having any neoprene in line from the pump to the carburetor, since it can get brittle and leak. I do have this on my truck, because my FiL put an inline filter between the pump and carb. I'll address that eventually, but those pieces of hose are checked often.
