Copper air and fuel lines?

[randydupree]

in all my years of working on birds and talking to people that work on birds
i've never,ever heard of a copper line problem,unless it was a water line that
froze. ohh,i take that back,i did have a copper air line split on an 84pt40.it
was a short line and i replaced it with plastic.copper seems fine to me,i've
also replaced plastic lines on trucks that leaked.its not a perfect
world...randydupree93wbinfl

How long did Wanderlodge (and Bluebird?) use copper tubing for air
and fuel lines?

Is there a problem with the copper tubing cracking and becoming a
safety hazard?

I have someone trying to tell me that my 'lodge is unsafe because it
has these copper lines, he's telling me that most truck
manufacturers switched over to plastic lines in the early 80's
because of stress fractures in the copper lines. I think that he is
full of **it, as he has proven to be so in the past.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks,

flash your lights if you see me:>)
