[corolla gt]

i no it wont burst as i no they can get tested to up to 400psi

copper is worth too much sell it and buy proper lines with the money you get

Even if you can, I wouldn't

yeah i agree where you bend the tube it ends up work hardending and is at a higher risk of cracking, Ive considered it cause im in the trade aswell but decieded its not a good idea

Not to mention the weight in copper.

Use Cupronickel brake line(comes in a few diff sizes, big enough for fuel line). Easy to bend, doesnt rust, made for cars.

I work for a private company, we do all refigeration but mostly commercial supermarkets powerstations freezer rooms etc

Copper becomes brittle with age and loses it ablity to bend. so a rock or vibration could easly break the line, with fuel going everywhere.

sounds good enough for you not to do it?
