The aluminum hard line that doesn't start leaking after sitting around too long....

Hey Vic, I use the Earls braided with a synthetic lining. Was told it holds up better to fuels. Been on my car 7 years with no problems. Good luck.

Hey Vic,

I'm with Jeff, especially if your talking about the line from the cell to the regulator up front. 1/2" aluminum line with tube nuts and sleeves to transition to braided line will last forever and is a LOT cheaper than braided. Put an Abel clamp every 2.5 to 3 feet for support. It's a bit of a pain to work with but once it's done, it's done!

Are you going to do the Florida loop in 2010? Stocker or S/S or both?

Kinda hijacking the thread, but when your in FL, be careful about parking your rig at Wal-Marts. I parked mine at a Wal-Mart in Sarasota and went out to dinner and when I got back they were hauling the whole mess off. Store said it was a Sarasota law, but it was the store that called the tow truck. Cops weren't involved.
