Fuel pipe (best practice)

[jfkal]

My fuel pipes (diesel) are copper tubes and I am intending to do some preventive maintenance and replace them.
What is best:

1. Copper pipe again
2. Fuel grade rubber hose
3. Armored rubber hose
4. Others

Many thanks

I would use copper for the main runs and then armoured onto the engine. I would not use fuel grade rubber.

I'd use mainly copper, then non-armoured rubber. Armoured hose is difficult to inspect for deterioration. If you want "best practice", take a look at the fuel pipe section of the BSS.

Thanks for that one young man.....just about to start the engine installation

I'd agree with the non-armoured rubber, but I'd only use copper for a long run well away from the engine.
