Isn't the braiding just for preventing bursting and slicing of a

softer
inner material? what material is used for the inside lining?

I've installed many a fuel line on boilers with soft copper tubing

fuel). There are also *fused* valves available (fire-o-matic) that

shut
off fuel supply in an intense heat situation. I'll defer to Doug's
expertise
in this situation though.
To the OP, if you're going with metal tubing, I'd recommend a

flared
connection, or at least stay away from compression (nut and

ferrule)
types,
which tend to leak with vibration.

If you're worried about fire protection, and you want leak-proof
metal. I would use stainless steel braided aircraft hose.

It's also much easier to install than a rigid tube.
