what is the rubber coating for on fuel lines?
I'm replacing nylon fuel lines on my 79 SC. I have done quite a bit of searching on this topic and found a number of ways to replace the nylon.
I have read that the rubber coating on the OEM lines is not important...but that bugs me. If it's not important, then why was it there in the first place? Insulation? Thanks, Martin

It isn't really a coating, it's more of a seperate sleeve/hose and I think it is there to give additional stability to prevent kinks and damage.
The protective rubber sleeves deteriorate over time and I replaced some by using small-size hoses and electrical tape. After 1981 SC's came with steel lines.
