Default Re: Nickel copper brake.fuel lines.

I just looked through NHRA rules and it only specifies metallic lines and max 12" non-metallic fuel lines from tank to engine. Nothing about copper. I wonder if there are other rule books out there. FAA regulations specify Aluminum, steel and titanium lines, but I would guess it would have to be inspected.

Cunifer™ is seamless, copper nickel alloy DOT approved brake line that is as strong as steel, completely rust proof and is easier to work with than any other brake line on the market. I suppose since it's DOT approved that would put it up there in terms of reliability.

I have looked online and still haven't come across any race sanctioning bodies that specify not using copper lines. Pete, can you get a source?
