Default Steel braided brake line

Odd question, I am using hard brake line to fix my fuel line on the Jeep. I had to cut out the flexable line from the factory and was wondering if one would be able to use steel braided brake line as the flexable section in the line to comp for motor movement from torque and jumping it. Thanks

I would just use fuel injected hose. That is about the cheapest fix you can do. If you used brake line you would still have to buy the ends, and that alone would cost more than the fuel injected hose.

I already have a hand full of ends and fittings laying around and have most of it plumbed. The metal brake line I used for most of it has the threaded fittings still on it to use.

I don't believe there will be a problem. I would check with the manufacturer of the line to be sure though.
