Is there a service life on these? I have the Earls or Russell ProFlex hose (can't remember) from the fuel pump to the fuel line on the carb. It's probably over 15 years old. Should I replace it?
Because as it deteriorates I don't need any that stuff in these.Fuel still flowing? Why throw it out... I'd have different advise if you were flying!
I wonder what the average age of that piece is amongst the group.That's what fuel filters are for. How many people here do you think do not have rubber in their fuel system? At the tank and frame to engine, fuel line to fuel filter to carb.
I sure do love my hard steel line.
And crusty. But my hard steel line will still be here.That’s because you are hard core old school. And generally just old.

Used a roll of 1/2 aluminum on my savoy, about 30 years ago. Still there, still fine.25 ft roll of aluminum fuel line 3/8. Easy to work with, cheap! Thoughts ???
Liked. I run as little hose as I can. Hard line is cheaper, (almost) never leaks.My friend Tom has a 15 gallon fuel cell in the trunk of his Chevelle and a #8 braided stainless steel line running forward.
He went out in his shop one day and there was a huge puddle of fuel under the car. That braided hose was 10 years old and failed.
So it's a good idea to change it if you don't know the history, or if your getting close to 10-years old.
For what it's worth I run a stainless steel hard line and just a small amount of braided hose.

flare the ends, get some of that decent EFI rubber hose to bounce the connects and good clamps and ship it.25 ft roll of aluminum fuel line 3/8. Easy to work with, cheap! Thoughts ???

Does anyone sell 1/2" steel hardline that's easy to form?
