I had a plastic one break on me once.I romped on the 350 in the jeep I had and it broke the line inside ,made a mess . and the pressure forced the line out thru the firewall and made a mess there too.
I changed mine to copper

My dad had one melt through on a truck he had. Napa has copper lines for em.

Autozone even has the copper lines, not hard to find. I had a plastic line blow out on nova I had years ago, dumped hot oil on my foot inside the car...
