High pressure fuel line, in aluminum

I'm trying to source out some aluminum fuel line so I can redo my OBS

I'm running a high pressure electric fuel system and had my heart set on redoing the whole truck and using aluminum lines, along with -6AN fittings and tube nuts.

My problem is that the fuel lines I keep finding are rated to 25psi.

Will it work? I'm not into steel lines, and don't want rubber lines.


Any one have some thoughts on this?

Thanks,
AB

What was the pressure rating?

I've been looking at 3/8 thin wall.

Maybe moving up to a thicker wall, or going 1/2" might help.

Found it, rated to 250psi

Now to double check the compatibility and validity of their claims.

Yep, u got it.

Hot WVO and steel don't mix well in the long haul.
