Poly Armour Gas/Brake Lines

[55 Fargo]

Hi all, today I bought a 30 inch pre-made 5/16 Poly Armour Steel tubing. This product is great, I put a 90 degree bend in it with my bare hands, it did not kink and is a lot easier to bend then steel lines.

I bought this section for between the fuel pump and carb, it was a bit pricey at $8.00, but has the flares and fittings on both ends.

They had 3/16 tubing on display, with bends in it like a coil, this stuff is good where you need to do a lot of bending.

The product is Poly Armour Steel Tubing for brake lines, gas lines and trans lines..........Fred

Yup...have 'em at NAPA

Hi Curtis, my local NAPA does not stock this item, infact NAPA in the USA has way more useful items then they have here in middle Canada.

I bought my Poly Armour lines from " Piston Ring Stores", but they have the "attitude" so I buy just what I need from them..............Fred

Shel I have a tube bender, and have had success in making bends, but I need to custom bend the line from the fuel pump to carb, and want to make a few bends in it, so I thought I would try this stuff.............Fred

I haven't used this stuff yet and my NAPA folks don't have it yet, but I plan to use it in the future. I found this blurb about it on the AGS (manufacturer) website:

Poly-Armour Gains Fast Acceptance

1/23/06

For the past several years OEM\'s have been installing poly-vinyl coated steel fluid transfer lines on their vehicles. The poly-vinyl coating provides vastly increased resistance to corrosive road debris and allows the line to last much longer than a standard coated steel line.

Last year AGS introduced the aftermarkets first and only version of this superior fluid transfer line - Poly-Armour.

Poly-Armour is a complete category of steel fluid transfer lines that is OEM quality poly-vinyl coated. Poly-Armour is available pre-fabricated for domestic fuel, brake, and transmission applications as well as import brake lines. Poly-Armour is also available in 25ft length coils.

Within the first year of its introduction into the automotive aftermarket Poly-Armour has gained quick acceptance in the marketplace. Professional installers and do-it-yourselfers appreciate the superior look, longevity, and quality of the Poly-Armour line of products.

Look for other Poly-Armour branded products in the near future.

The way I read this it sounds like a coating on the steel lines. I purchased some 5/16 tubing to replace my fuel line yesterday and looks like this poly described above (need to read the lable again) but the tubing still seems like what they always sold only with coating. I have used the napa tubing many times and you could always bend easy curves by hand but the tight curves still need a bender.

Here is a pic of 5/16 poly armour tubing, bent to shape by hand, no problem and easy to do.

This a nice flexible product to work with, the outer coating should be a good corrosion fighter too...........Fred

I've had this stuff across the rear axle of my 94 dakota for about 3 years now. So far no issues. Wish it had been around when I was making all new lines for my coupe and pickup!

[oldmopar]

I used it for my fuel lines 2 days ago it did bend easier I used 2 60" and 1 30" which brought me to the fuel pump. When I made the bends from the pump to the carb I did use a bender I think it would have crimped as they were 90 degree bends right at the connector. It does seem like a easier product to work with and the coating is a plus.

Can one cut this line to length and re-flair it same as the standard steel line?

[daddyo23]

I used it for the brake lines on the '51 Cranbrook. Bent well and cut and flared the same. Wayne P.

I'll second that. When the napa guys were promoting it to me I asked them that and they told me it worked the same as the reg lines that way. And I did cut and reflair it on my dakota.
