Default Steel or Plastic

Hray Ray Steel is ok IF there is NO movement of the tank in the frame or twisting of the frame under hard driving. Plastic would be better. It would remove the vibrations from the connections. Compression fitting ARE not the best idea for what you are doing. I have seen the break, leak, and even crack lines where the furrels are crushed on the lines. Have a fitting welded on the gas tank to what size you need. #8 or #10 would be the best and run a 3/8" or larger gas line to the front of the car and a 5/16" to return. Regulator with a 5-6 psi opening and closing to not have the floats in the carb bouncing and washing down your cylinder walls in the motor. Rick L.
