Default Oil feed lines?

Has anyone ever used copper tubing? I use it all the time for plumbing at work and don't really see any draw backs?

Doesn't flex all that well and would probably end up stress cracking after a while in the automotive environment. Just my opinion though.

yeah I used it for a while but like stated before it tends to stress crack if you move it alot and it vibrates alot! Gets annoying after awhile if it's hitting the hood. Honestly just buy some ss lines. Worth the money imo.

I used fuel line and it blew out when it was cold (higher pressure) made a big ------- mess in my engine bay.

Anyone ever heard of brake lines?

I've used quite a bit of copper tubing for running such things as LPG and I compress my own fittings at the ends.. I don't like copper cause it likes to wrinkle under constant stress

I've used brake lines on a couple setups. I think it works really good.
