[SEL] Hot tube material

[Steve Gray]

   OK, guys. I know this has been covered before and I've perused some 
of the available list archives to no avail, so I'll ask a repeat 
question. What's the general opinion about the type of material used for 
hot tubes? I'm in the process of sanitizing the Fairbanks "Y" oil engine 
I just bought and will be replacing the starting hot tube. Easily made, 
but would like to come up with the proper material. My feeble brain cell 
SEEMS to remember something about nickel being used.
Thanks in advance.

- Steve
