Hi guys,
the safety wire for fuel tubing connections has to be in steel or aluminum?
And of what diameter in milimeters should he be?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

I use 24 gauge galvinized steel wire. In mm that is 0.55

Goodridge .020 thickness and grade 302. It's the best stuff I've found and available on Ebay.

I use different diamteres (.015, .020, .025) for different purposes.

The lighter wire isn't strong enough to exert the force I want on heavy duty lines without breaking, and the heavier wire is too rigid to form nicely around very small parts. So, e.g. for safety-wiring a 6mm fuel line I'll use the .025, whereas for saftey-wiring a 1/8" airline onto a Robart air tank nipple I'll use the .015.

Gordon has the right answer - .015 or .01 for airlines and .025 for fuel...
