Hey all intheburgh here



A guy was saying when he replaces vacum lines he uses neoprene fuel line instead of regular vacum lines, has anyone tried this, if so how did it work? He said it lasts longer and comes in different sizes.



I'd like to replaced alot (if not all ) of my lines. Its an "82" and I'm sure that most of them are 20 years old !

I replaced what few vacuum lines I had left on my ported 12A with silicone hoses and they worked great. Even the brake booster hose over next to the header. It discolored a little(alot actually), but it never failed. I am switching all my hoses on the Turbo that I'm building to silicone.

Kinda off what you asked about using fuel lines, but I don't see a problem.
