Javad, others, fuel line question

[Dave Hord]

Javad,

I think you just solved three problems in one shot.

With the inexpensive aluminum tubing, I can save enough money on -6 line to a)
be able to actually do this, b) move the fuel pump into the trunk...no rocks
can hit it there, and if they do...it's the least of my problems  and c) when I
can _afford_ it...I can upgrade to braided line for the inside too!

Thanks a bunch mate.

Do I buy stock sized Aluminum tubing...or will there be -6 equivalent?

-Dave
