Just received new stainless fuel lines from Inline Tube, with whom I (and many others) have had good experience with.
FYI See attached - the swage/bend on the ends of Inline's tubes tapers narrower, and the oring either doesn't stay on or tends to slide off.
The OEM GM tube tapers slightly wider at the tip, keeping the Oring securely captured and in position.
I prepared these pictures to send to Inline, and will contact them today. Hope I don't have a fight on my hands ... IMNSHO, the replacement lines are not quite "equivalent" in design or quality to the OEM.
Does anyone know what Classic Tube's lines are like, in this detail?
Sigh, nothing is easy ...
