Kim, I HIGHLY recommend CuNiFer lines (copper-nickel alloy). It's very easy to work and it will not rust. Available from Napa and CarQuest. Be sure your flare tool does BUBBLE flare and get the proper nuts. Neil is right. Inspect the whole length of the line especially behind the clips that anchor the line along it's length. http://fedhillusa.com/ has everything you need.
