[DeTomaso] Fuel Line welding/brazing

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

Hi Doug,

You will not have a problem welding this. A welder that does the majority of
his work on trucks and tractors is not the person to take this too. If they
are doing TIG work then they are your man/woman/other.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Fuel Line welding/brazing

Guys,

I want to add a 5/16" return fuel line through my 70 MACH1's fuel sender. My
plan is to drill a hole in the sender, insert standard 5/16" brake line
tubing through the hole and take it to a welder.
 Can standard brake line be welded or brazed to a steel fuel sender or is
its coating and makeup incompatible with welding?

Here's what the Edelmann site says about their brake tubing.  Each line is
made by double wrapping a copper coated steel strip to form a double wall
tube. Next, the tube is furnace brazed to fuse the
copper/steel tube into one continuous and seamless tube. The tube is then
given a super terne coat for excellent corrosion protection.

>From what I understand 'terne" coating is a combo of zinc and tin plating
over the base metal.
