Steel line isn't all that hard to deal with. I've used a bunch of it through the years on military vehicle restorations. When you bend it you slowly work it around with your hands. If you bend it like you would a piece of wire it will kink on you. Like others said, you can get any pre-made length at your local auto parts store up to, I think, five feet? You can also get a cheap tubing bender for just a few bucks at the auto store.

Let's think about what would happen if the flare on a copper line cracks at the engine and sprays fuel on a piping hot engine. If it's diesel you probably won't burn, though I did see it happen once on a L2 Gleaner. If it's gasoline, how do you spell fireball? Jim
