reproduction fuellines and brakelines

[john302]

Ordered some reproduction fuellines from the Right Stuff last week. The line is a different color from the last time I  ordered them years back. It doesnt have that nice natural steel look anymore. Its looks like some kind of coating on the line. Has anyone else noticed this lately? Maybe order them from a different supplier? thanks

IT almost looks like teflon or aluminized or something... I too am NOT A FAN of this "new" material.

Coating is probably to help limit corrosion.

If you can find someone to make you a set in 3/8" tubing you won't have the gas leak problems that most of the 5/16" sets have.

I guess you got me on that one,,,,maybe I am missing something here,,,,how does outside diameter affect corrosion
