My Land Rover has a copper vacume advance line. A few months ago I found myself spending a few days traveling on wasboard dirt roads that gave the Rover a good shaking. Before long I noticed that performance was not what it should be. Later checking revealed that the copper line had broken at the distributer side. The vibration caused enough stress to not only crack the Cu line but to completely sever it! This line was installed new this last spring. I don't think you want to use copper as a fuel line, unless it is a short length connected to rubber at both ends. TeriAnn |
