I was very dismayed how my 20' sections of hyd. steel tube from my hydraulic dist. rusted inside and out in just days before I had a chance to fab. OK, how to derust inside and out. Then what, paint? Has me thinking Aluminum. Only $30./ 25' roll at local speed shop. Very shiny and much easier to bend and flare. It will also work with existing small fortune of hyd. steel fittings I have.

Any thoughts?

Alcohol and Aluminum? ( I seem to remember someone on this forum with a newer Holley Alum. carb being eaten up inside)
