I'm routing 3/8" fuel line from the tank to the motor. I went to autozoo to buy the tubing, I already had the bender I rented from them when I did 5/16 a while back. I bought the 5/16 tubing from autoZ also, back when I did that job. Anyways, I bought a 25' roll of 3/8 line, the tag said it was steel and it was brake line. I dont know if there is any diffrence in fuel line and 'brake line' but this tubing is pretty difficult to bend and my main problem is that it kinks every time I try to make a bend. So, IS there a diffrence between fuel and brake line? I really dont want to try and heat every bend I make. Should I try to find some aluminum line? Any suggestions?

Seems to me they're one and the same. Stainless would be harder to bend though with the chrome content. There's always copper too.

Found one of those two handle benders with a shoe for diffrent size tubing, worked great and I got the fuel lines routed.
