Currently copper pipes are used for all diesel fuel lines. I have a concern regarding their use between boat mounted fittings and engine mounted fittings. Will the vibration of the engine cause an eventual failure of these lines? These lines are about 2 feet long and, from memory, there are three of them. All the lines are quarter inch in size. It's common and correct practice to use copper tubing for diesel fuel lines. You describe your rigging as "pipe", which could have joints in it. There should be no joints in your fuel lines. If you are extremely concerned (and without seeing your setup it's hard to imagine why you would be) I believe there is some ABYC approved specialized hose that could be used instead. |
