I have a 135 gas Continental and have worked on the fuel lines several times and would like to replace them with braided steel lines.
As close as that fuel line runs to the muffler and exhaust manifold is that safe?
The original steel rusted out, I made new ones out of copper. Somewhere along the line in the past 25 years I used some rubber hose and added an inline filter. Bad idea, almost burned the tractor up, grabbed a five gallon bucket of water out of the swimming pool and put it out....:ashamed:
I eventually bought steel bendable brake line and that is still doing fine. But I just put a brand new carburetor on it and am back to wishing it had an inline filter. There is not enough room for my extra large hands to put a filter inline using the solid steel lines.
I have looked online at the race car fuel lines and wondered if I could use those.
