Ok, take a deep breath, this is JUST a question....and involves gasoline so don?t flame me too hard. So, I have been doing a non scientific test of using Parker 293 air brake line for transporting gasoline from my portable 32 gallon plastic fuel cell to my 160 gallon boat fuel tank for 12 years, I am using a Mallory 240 GMP pump. (This is easier to fill the boat than draging it into a station) over the years I have pumped thousands of gallons through this same 20 Ft. line. Dragged on the concrete, sitting in the sun for years, and no problems what so ever. It is rated at 500 PSI working pressure and temps from -58 to 302 F. I know it is designed for air, but they know it is also going to be used around lots of petroleum products on big rigs. This one little plastic line is indirectly stopping 80,000 + Lbs trucks on our highways every day. SO?.what would be the concerns of using this line BEHIND the firewall, from tanks to selector valve and up to firewall, I know there would be a concern if flames were on the firewall, so maybe not there? Just throwing it out there, what do you think, no cracked or leaking aluminum flares, easy to install?..
