Ed de Chazal asks "Why stainless lines?"  I was merely following Brent Regan's advice here -- there is a short section of hard line between the gascolator and the Dukes fuel pump.  This can be a flex line, if desired, but the hard line should be cheaper and lighter.  Brent recommends firesleeved steel for such lines in the engine compartment.

Concerning steel vs aluminum, I must confess some confusion when I see that the oil return lines on the engine are all aluminum....
