I can't remember where I read it but someone was saying that braided line is brutal on any other things it might rub against, rubber lines and it didn't matter anywhere near as much.

What is supposed to be the point of braided fuel lines anyway? Brake lines I understand as there's a lot of pressure to be maintained but fuel... not so much / at all.

I think the hydro / brake covers and channels in the floor pan offer a pretty good amount of protection anyway.

I would not do the entire fuel line. If you want some bling then just do the ends in braided.

Only reson i was going to go with braided was because of the 10m of hose i had left over from one of my old race cars.

I reckon that's a good reason...
