Moving to aluminum hose fittings

[FrenchFry]

Just completed a replumb job on the Suburban. Some of the brass fuel fittings have been in there for 5 years. Black inside and a buildup of slime. I had installed a few aluminum fittings a couple of years back and they were clean inside.

Reused all the aluminum fittings and discarded the brass. I'm changing to all aluminum fittings.

I did the research so here are the links to make it easy:

That should cover most of the major items you'll need to covert over to aluminum over time. Recommend you do it in stages. No need to do it all at once. Brass appears to be fine for Diesel. Aluminum better for SVO.
