I'm going to be replacing my fuel lines but would like another opinion about about a product. Would it be safe to install lines that come in three piece sections and make up a single line compared to a single one piece line? The lines are pre bent to factory spec and I have a photo of the lines in question. Any opinions about them would be appreciated.

Hello,

Absolutely. The only drawback to this is you will have three spots that could fail easier then a one piece design. On the plus side, though, the ease of installation will be greatly enhanced. Personally, I don't see any problem with it other than that, and that is minimal.

Thanks,
Alex

Have used that line type myself on a few vehicles. In most cases they can be bought in plain steel or stainless. I've used the stainless ones and they seem to hold up well here in the rust belt. As do the stainless brake lines that come pre-formed.
