We went aluminum in the stub wings
for our Legacy, because there wasn't a run longer than about 12" and all well
secured. In the cockpit, for fuel and hydraulic, there were longer runs,
so we went stainless, mainly for the fatigue factor, and strength, plus they
were shiny....(:-)

Is anybody running
aluminum tubing in the fuel system after the EFI pumps? I am replacing
the small filters with a large canister filter and I don’t have much
room, it appears that it would be easier to route some al tubing than
try and get flex Aeroquip hose in there. I would have two sections of
tubing about a foot long if I used that system.
Any opinions?
Advice?

B ON the firewall, they'd probably be fine, unless there's a fire.
What's your comfort level? I think you can get Stainless tubing that works
with the same
fittings.....
