Source for colored steel braided Fuel Lines.

hello ,

I 'm also looking for a good source for colored steel braided hoses. Need a Fuel line from the Fuelpump to carburetor. I have a 73 OMC V8 GM-Block.

FEDERAL LAW

183.558 - Hoses and connections

(a) Each hose used between the fuel pump and the carburetor must be "USCG Type A1" hose.

The above is for flexible hose, solid steel and stainless steel does not need to be marked. Braided fuel line cannot be used in marine applications that I am aware of. Braided lines are a covering over the actual fuel line which does not allow for fuel line inspection

Sierra has a braided line that meets USCG A1 cert, but the only colour is black and the braid is synthetic, not metal.
part number is 18-8114

I wouldn't use anything except a rigid metal (Steel/Stainless steel) line from the pump to the carb. Just get a flaring tool and a tubing bender and make your own!
