Hi
Do not see anything wrong with this stuff. I had initially used cooper pipe for c/heating like Andy but then changed it to the proper cooper fuel line. I could see a difference betwween the two types of cooper. The B&Q looked thin and felt brittle ,which raised my concern as with vibration could crack it. The proper cooper fuel one from the motor factor did not cause me any concern, as it felt heavy and easy to work with!

Hope this is of some help!

Cool I'll give this stuff a go I think as it looks like it'll be easier to lay than copper. Is it acceptable to things like cable ties to attach it to the chassis or is there something else I should be using that's considered more secure?

Thought that would be the case but wanted to check. Any seen a better deal than this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3501420921... 4.m1438.l2649 for them anywhere? Also should I be using self tapping screws to attach them? And finally how many have other people ended up using roughly?
