I bought a roll of 3003 and several pre cut 6' sections of 5052. I much prefer
the 5052. I had no success trying to unroll 3003 to straight. It looked awful.
I gave it away to a fellow builder. However, the 5052 is soft enough to work
with and has no bends in it except the ones I put there. Shipping cost is a little
more but not by much if you go 6' max. I had no runs where I needed more
than 6'...Geoff

Just a reminder to all using AN fittings on the aluminum and braided fuel l
ines that they require a 37 degree flare (and thus an aviation flaring tool
) and not a standard 45 degree flare as on automobiles.=0A-=0ABill Pag=E1

If you are an EAA member or know someone who is, there is a nice article in this
months Sport Aviation on choosing and fabricating aluminum fuel lines. Check
it out!

Call Van's aircraft and order their 3/8 tubing it iust seems to be easier
to work with and then you know you are getting the right stuff. But if you
have to get it from Spruce this is the stuff you want.

I've decided to replace the rubber hose fuel line from the tank with 3/8"
aluminum line. I've got 2 questions - should I use 6061-T6 Aluminum line
and what wall thickness should I use? Aircraft Spruce sells 4 different
wall thicknesses for 3/8" OD line - .035, .058, .065 and .083.
It seems to me any of these should give me adequate fuel flow for a Jabiru
3300. The other issue might be strength, but I should be able to support
it well enough.
Thanks for any advice.
