The tubing measures 3\/8 inch (9.52 mm) outside diameter with a 0.035 inch (0.89 mm) wall thickness, providing a balance of flexibility and strength for custom runs and repairs. Extruded from 3003 aluminum alloy, the line offers good formability and surface finish for polishing or fitting when used with standard tube nuts, sleeves and 37° flared AN fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the core dimensions and material characteristics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coil is specified as 3\/8\" (9.52 mm) outside diameter with a 0.035\" (0.89 mm) wall thickness and a total length of 25 feet (7.62 meters). It’s extruded from 3003-grade aluminum, which is chosen for its workability and natural corrosion resistance compared with bare steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutside diameter: 3\/8 inch (9.52 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWall thickness: 0.035 inch (0.89 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoil length: 25 ft (7.62 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial: 3003 aluminum alloy—good formability and finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this tubing perform under pressure and which fluids is it compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Podavelle hardline is rated to a maximum working pressure of 650 psi, suitable for many low- to mid-pressure fuel and fluid system applications. It is compatible with fuels and fluids such as gasoline, diesel, ethanol blends (including E85), oil, water and air when installed correctly with compatible fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure: 650 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible fluids: fuel, oil, water, gasoline, diesel, ethanol\/E85, compressed air\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended fittings: tube nut couplers, sleeves, 37° flared AN fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I shape, flare or join this tubing for custom plumbing and fuel lines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — 3003 aluminum is readily cut, bent and flared, making this coil well suited to custom routing and fabrication tasks. Use standard tubing cutters, bending tools, and a 37° flaring tool for AN-style fittings; always follow proper flaring and joining procedures to ensure leak-free connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy to cut with a tube cutter or fine-tooth saw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormable for manual or machine bends; avoid kinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 37° AN flares, tube nuts and sleeves for assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should the tubing be stored and prepared before installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the coil clean and dry while stored to protect the finished surface and minimize contamination. Before installation, deburr the cut ends, inspect flares or fittings for proper seating, and secure the tubing with clamps or brackets to prevent vibration wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore coiled in a dry, covered area to prevent dirt or moisture buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeburr and clean cut ends for safe, leak-free fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse clamps or supports to reduce vibration and abrasion in service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: Podavelles 3\/8\" OD aluminum hardline is intended for automotive builders, custom fabricators, restoration projects, marine fitters and DIY mechanics who need a balance of light weight, corrosion resistance and practicality for fuel, oil, water or air systems. It suits anyone creating custom runs, replacing corroded lines, or adapting systems to ethanol blends and other compatible fluids. Make sure to match fittings and installation practices to your systems pressure and fluid requirements for safe, durable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this aluminum tubing safe with ethanol fuels like E85?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
