    1. Automotive fuel lines are not intended to be exposed to SUNLIGHT.

    2. Automotive fuel lines do not meet USCG regulations.

    3. Automotive fuel lines are designed specifically for "autos".

    4. Most automotive fuel lines (today) are NOT designed for use in a VACCUM environment (low pressure).

    ... I can think of several more reasons.... but I think you get the picture.
