Will not use the hard line. Thanks.
The purge valve will dump the fuel pressure as soon as you open it and the engine will stop immediately. And I mean RIGHT NOW! Nothing in the lines will burn as there will be no pressure to deliver it to the combustion chambers.

Thanks Ron. Did not know the internal operation.

How about have Bonaco make a braided teflon line to replace the hard line?
