REFLECTOR: Fuel Line Fittings

[Ron Brown]

Jack,

Hmmm.  How about the bulkhead fitting that the other end of this flex hose 
(in my case about 18" long) where the fuel line comes from the header tank? 
Mine is aluminum - and runs through the fire wall.  Should I replace it with 
a steel fitting?

THANKS
Ronnie
