| Post subject: | Stainless steel fuel line spec? |
I need to fabricate a short and curvy length of ss tubing to transition from my EFI fuel rail to the main fuel line heading aft. I did something similar in the past by bending up some 3/8" ss tubing with 37* flair fittings. Rummaging in my parts bins I came across a length of ss tubing that is likely what I successfully used 15+ years ago, but I need to verify its the right stuff. Fortunately it still has the spec printed on the side: T.S.K. ASTM A269/A213 ASME SA213 AVE. WALL SMLS T304 3/8"X0.028" HEAT NO. V60946 MADE IN JAPAN Well, maybe some of the S's were actually 5's but the above should be close. I googled pieces of the acronym string and it looks like it's seamless 304 stainless tube with the right engineering standards. And I can tell it was an old piece 'cause all the new tube is made a bit further east. Is this the right stuff for an EFI fuel line? Thanks. |

That will work fine. Burst rating is about 2,300 psi. Can be flared without splitting since it is seamless. |
