You can not use rubber fuel lines to replace the current brake lines due to the high operating pressure. You will need to replace them with brake lines, the rubber brake lines has a different construction to hold the pressure and not getting eaten away by the brake fluid, brake lines can hold over 2000psi when the pedal is heavily applied

it can be done with only fuel hose. i have done it when fuel lines have needed spliced or a few feet needed replacing. never had a problem after that either. auto parts sell it by the foot. very affordable Not knowing what vehicle you have, be careful, some fuel systems require more than 60 psi. Some aftermarket rubber fuel lines may not handle that pressure.

Should you be extra concerned about anything or fluids when starting a 1965 VW beetle 1200 after it has been sitting for 17 years?
YES. The car is almost 50 years old so some steps are involved.At the very least drain and replace the oil in the motor and try to siphon out the old gas and add fresh. (and the transmission if you have time.)Also keep an eye on the gas lines as the bends have rubberized cloth hoses and they can rot and split and spray gas all over. They are great when new but don't have a long life. Some times even the metal gas lines can rust and seep gas so you'll have to keep your eye out when you first get it started. Check all the bands holding the fuel lines to the metal lines and such to make sure the fittings haven't shrunk and the bands have loosened.Absolutely check the brake fluid and brake lines incase the rubber parts of the hose's have rotted and have holes in them. The rubber parts can swell -inside- and may keep the brakes from releasing and/or may not even pass any fluid to the brakes at all.Things to replace as soon as possible:-ALL rubber gas lines with new german oem rubber gas lines.-Fuel strainer (filter) in tank.-All rubber brake line parts.
87 Suburban There is fuel leaking from the passenger side of the engine from where the fuel comes from the tank to the engine you are not sure if it is a rubber hose or the metal paret not sure what i?
That year I believe still had a mechanical fuel pump on the right bank(passanger side)towards the font of the engine and it should have a steel line going to it and from it, check for rusted out lines and replace with steel lines, rubber is to iffy being its really close to the exaust manifold, and replace your fuel filter on your carburator( the line comming from the pump to the carb on the carb).
