Thank you very much for posting this issue!

I thought I was out of my mind. I just got a new car with steel braided fuel line. After a few days the garage started smelling like gas. I examined every piece of the car and could not find a leak.

I finally went out and spent $300 on a combustible gas detector. As I suspected the gas lines were weeping fuel vapors. Now this I took to be poor installation of the AN fittings (gas leaking down the hose inbetween the steel braid and rubber). So after purchasing $60 of steel braided hose to refit two of the ten hoses I thought I was set. The gas detector did not register a bit of vapor......that is until the next day when the new hose was putting off fuel vapor just like the one I replaced.

I searched the internet for it seems days until I found this post. So after reading it I called Russell today and ask them about the line being used for fuel and the fact that their site said this was an intended use. They said of course this line would work for fuel. I then pressed them and exlained your post and ask for a customer service supervisor. The supervisor then indicated that yes this is a problem that has been reported to them before. I suggested they change their web site to highlight this issue.....but I dont believe they will make the change.

Anyway long way of saying thanks. The post saved me time and money and Russel should be ashamed of themselves.
