Simon,
Did you rebuild/replace the fuel pump at some point?

Subject: LRO: metal fuel line question- copper
Is there a reason to avoid using copper for fuel line assuming it can be
adequately supported (given its softness)?
I was mulling this over the other day when thinking of ways to make fuel
delivery more efficient in my 109SW, which presently has a rubber line.
I've plumbed in a fuel return line and I keep it closed off most of the
time to avoid fuel starvation issues, and when starting a hot engine,
I'll open this line in the event of a v-lock, in order to clear it. But
I'd like to avoid vapor lock altogether and have a theory that the less
resitance the pump is meeting, the better. Thus, the metal line, which I
think was original (have to admit I've not checked), and which I think
will be smoother inside and allow more efficient flow of fuel.
If it locks this summer, I may try an electric pump - as I've tried
everything else!
Simon - wants to avoid vapor lock this summer at all costs short of an
