in fuel line...
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....(:-)
Legacy N178RG
still in progress

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?

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.....
