Can fuel line be used for remote master cylinder reservoir hoses?

Good question Tex, I would cut a small piece of the tubing you are planning to use and put it in a can or jar filled with brake fluid and see what happens.

what type brake fluid. what type fuel line.

Trans cooler hose would be a better choice.

Why don't you just go to a hydraulic hose place that makes up brake lines and buy a piece of bulk brake hose in the length you need. Fuel line might be okay but if you use brake hose you know it will work and then you won't have to worry about it. Some shops make brake hoses and others will not because their insurance won't allow it. I been through this trying to have brake hoses made for a hot rod.

There are not any pressure requirements for most bigger diameter remote filler hoses, only a fluid compatibility issue.

I have been using fuel line but that's with DOT 5.
Perhaps Wilwood's own spec's will give you a clue.

older VWs had remote brake line hose, it had a blue tint to show it was for brake fluid, works great. Paul

I suggest Stainless Steel braided PTFE hose, no issues with compatibility. The only problem area you may run into is the type of fitting on the resevoir, 1/8" FNPTis an easily adpted to connection using an AN/JIC fitting. It does not sound like you are concerned about "no- Stock" appearing components.
