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?

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.....
