I'm not arguing about copper versus steel versus cupronickel. I have used
copper or cupronickel throughout my cars (except for brakes). I simply said
to silver solder the fittings, not soft solder them. Soft soldering will
inevitably lead to fractured joints.

I have been using copper fuel lines, as original, for 20 years with no
problems. There is very little, if any movement or vibration of the copper
lines and therefore little harding.

Next we need some discussion about how to attach the copper-nickel
tubing to the brass solder fittings at the tank and fuel pump.
(I do believe a LOT of us are running around with copper fuel lines.
Isn't that what Moss sells?)
