Fuel Lines for E85
I'm pulling my engine and while I'm opening up the fuel lines I figured I might as well replace the stock rubber lines in the engine bay. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I need.
Car runs E85, base fuel pressure @60psi running a boost referenced fpr eventually around 20psi MAP. I'm having some trouble identifying what's ok with ethanol and finding a lot of stuff says 50psi WP, 250psi burst pressure and not sure that's safe at the pressures I'm running. |
iirc any modern fuel line past like '96 or something is teflon coated.
that's what you want, the coating. and since they started blending e into regular gas probably around that same time, I'm betting there is no such thing as un-coated modern fuel hose/line |
Thanks for the reply. I read so much contradictory stuff on E85. FWIW, I've been running it on the stock lines for a year and half now and haven't destroyed anything. But I'm still a bit paranoid of it.
Of course I search for an hour, give up and post, then immediately find what I'm looking for. Gates 27335, Gates Barricade MPI Fuel Injection Hose | Gates |
I'm using PTFE (Teflon) coated hose for my braided stainless AN lines.

If the rubber lines are old, replace them with Ethanol compatible rubber from Autozone/Napa and don't worry about it. I've been running E85 in my 92 for 3 years now with no issues on otherwise stock lines.
