When I built my blower motor I used 3/8" aluminum tubing with Russell compression fittings from the fuel pump outlet to the carb. It doesn't leak and will never rust or dry rot, plus I like the way it looks. I have about 20' of this tubing left over and was planning on using it from the gas tank to just opposite the fuel pump, with the final connection being Gates rubber fuel line. I planned on running it on the inside of the frame rail with 3/8" insulated hose clamps along the way. One of my other friends told me not to use the aluminum tubing but rubber tubing all the way from the tank to the fuel pump. Are there issues I don't know about with the aluminum tubing?

Thanks,
