What's the best replacement fuel line? (was Where to find 4kq brake parts?)

[Kevin Hoff]

Thanks for the help everyone - turns out I was able to salvage the old tee
fitting after getting it off the car.  A local shop makes line to order with
the proper flanges and fittings so I simply ripped all of the hard line out
of the back of the car and started from scratch.

Now of course a fuel line is starting to leak from under one of the silver
clamps...  I was going to replace the hard fuel lines with copper tubing
like for an ice maker but have read somewhere that contact with copper is
bad for fuel.  Any suggestions on a good, available, not terribly expensive
material to use for fuel lines?
