You can use hardline in Steel or Ally or Kunifer but i wouldn't use Copper. What size lines are you running.

I can help with all you need, PM me or call 07836 244483

don't use steel, only stainless, steel corrodes and creates a milky emulsion over time which goes through your carb, learn't the hard way, spend half a season chasing ignition problems when it was metering block gummed up

You can buy the correct ally fuel line in 3/8" or 1/2" 25 foot long rolls. The NHRA rule book states that a maximum of 12" can be rubber hose but it's best to get the correct AN fittings and use braided steel.
