Hey, guys.
Can someone tell me what alloy is used to make the nozzle pipes at the fuel pump? I've read that certain stainless steels are suitable for contact with stagnant gasoline (that gas tanks are sometimes made of stainless), but I've also read that Inconel is used for fuel nozzles. When I was at QT, I saw slight darkening of the nozzle, but nothing beyond that, so I figured whatever metal that is would be good enough.
Any info is much appreciated.
