Re: Bentley and Haynes Manuals / copper fuel lines

[James <james.carpenter@ukaea.org.uk>]

Yes copper does react, it is one of the metal in the octane
increasing/lead replacing catalysts.  Very little of it will
be dissolved in the fuel, allot less than is rusted away on steel
lines. 

So although it does react I can't seen know harm in using in, 
even an advantage, it acts like lead in the petrol, and saves
you valve seats a bit.

I know some one who said that there was about 0.14V between
an octane increasing brick, and the tank.  This was dissolving
the brick.
