Default Fuel lines, and replacement

My fuel lines rusted out.
looking for any info on making up new lines, purchasing new lines or any pointers.
I'm having trouble locating all the lines seems folks only carry certain parts. Also any video links to working on the lines
Thanks

run you own lines from plastic or metal tubing designed for this application. most professionals run replacement plastic fuel lines. metal lines are doable but the large tube size is hard to bend. Plastic is cheap, will not rust. use can join metal to plastic or plastic to plastic with unions designed for the purpose.
shops have special forming tools to press quick connects into the plastic lines.
the only down side of plastic is that you can't make sharp bends...but if done correctly...you don't have to.
