Fuel lines, what to use?

[DavidB]

I have done 2 cars with braided hose, one with hard line and one with nylon line. Both the vehicles with braided I was not happy with, they smelled like fuel all the time and the pressure would bleed down over time so after sitting you would have to cycle the key to fill the fuel line. The other two have no problems.

this is interesting. Do you know what the interior tube was in your braid? I just put some on my truck project that has a teflon tubing liner inside. I'm wondering how gas could leak or seep through that? I wanted to go with hard stainless tubing but figured the price, time and lack of bending experience would make it the wrong choice.
