Pros? Cons? -
Im hearing that on the one hand, (cloth-covered) rubber fuel line (that all Amphis came with from factory) may have made the (relative few) fires that have happened worse, by
1) being less abrasion resistant than metal
2) burning/melting (which metal would not do)
On the other hand, Ive heard that metal line
1) can corrode (possibly quicker if covered in heat tape that might trap moisture?)
2) be "more susceptible to vapor lock" ?
3) more likely to conduct heat (from hot floor pan and/or heater hoses) into the fuel as it flows to the engine - adding to an already hot fuel-delivery to the carb
I know that is rubber fuel line needs to be ethanol approved - i picked this up awhile back, but was recently strongly advised to definitely go with METAL line for fire retarding.
