Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Rubber or Plastic

[DNiccoli]

I am just about ready to install my new ISSPRO mech fuel pressure gauge. I have 1/8 rubber fuel line with a T valve and plan to run with out an isolator. My question is can I use that plastic 1/8 tubing that you use with the boost instead? It would make it a lot easier but I am concerned with the diesel reaction to the plastic tube, will it break down in time?

i found small copper line at home depot i think used it for my old ford tuck oil pressure i would think it would work fine. tryin to find some stainless or aluminum line for my boost line.

I've been using plastic boost/oil pressure type tubing for six years, if it's incompatible with diesel it's taking it's time. Suggest you push the tubing though some 1/4'' tubing as a protective sheath. It will make the boost tubing even easier to work with since it won't kink plus protect against cuts and abrasion.
