I wanted to take this time to ping the group and determine a course of action. I am getting ready to order my hoses and material and wanted to inquire about firesleeving on oil and fuel lines. I have noticed several pics that have just stainless braided lines on the engines. What is the conventional wisdom... and what would an A&P do (if there are some here).

I am inclined to believe the stainless is more for looks, and abrasion resistance... but doesn't really add much in the fire-proofing or fire-resistance category. Aircraft Spruce sells firesleeving that is supposed to give 15 minutes direct flame resistance.

Any guidance, experience or data would be appreciated.
