No. The clutch line should be stiff enough so the flexible line does not
'balloon' under pressure. A swelling line extracts pressure than could better
be used to poush the slave cuylinder piston. Even though the clutch only
sees around 200 psi, thats far more than normal fuel line is designed to take.
Many of us in the U.S use Aeroquip braided-teflon aircraft line good for
3000 psi: far more than is needed but safe. Cheers- J Deryke
