    Fuel Line pt II

    Was inquiring if it would be possible to use a length of flexible steel fuel line for my fix. I need from the lift pump to the fuel filter. It was a hard, steel line that went up, over the engine, but under the intake. I have been told this is just a low psi line, but I am concerned about...
