They have been like that for years and no problems. I say go for it. [Reply]  [No Email]

All injection lines have a very specific size hole in them. It match's the retraction value of the delivery valve in volume. You never even want to install lines of different size inside holes let alone a copper line. It is not unusual for a manufacturer of engines to use different sized holes in the lines for same displacement engines as they change horse power, like adding a turbo etc. The delivery valve, injection nozzle and line all work together to cut off injected fuel with out dribble and still keep line full for next injection cycle.

Get the RIGHT line or you will be asking for trouble. [Reply]  [No Email]

Copper pipe/tubing is subject to metal fatigue/rupture under repetitive high pressure fluctuations. Consequently it must not be used for diesel injection lines. [Reply]  [No Email]

The lines from the pump to the injectors are also the same lenght, no matter which cylinder it goes to. It won't run right with different lenghts of tubing. [Reply]  [No Email]
