Default Who is using PTFE lined braided lines for fuel lines??

Just curious who is using these lines rather than normal rubber/rubber synthetic lines.

>>>>This Guy<<<< only downside is you can't make sharp bends or you'll kink the liner. Made the swap after one of my lines began to leak.

I use them for clutch lines and turbo oil feed, so far so good! But as mentioned, PTFE doesn't like sharp bends.

My opinion is that it is the only way to go (aside from bending up hard lines).

We actually build them here, and the burst pressure is ridiculous. All of my Nitrous, Fuel, Brakes, Oil.....everything gets the teflon treatment.

exactly. We proof pressured my nitrous lines to 6000 p.s.i. for 5 minutes. I know it will never see over 1200 but, it's a piece of mind lol!
