I failed to mention too that Viton fuel line is used on methanol-powered
racing bikes. Marine supply places sell a gray fuel line that is
alcohol-resistant and even more per foot from the places I saw online. I
didn't realize the government was mandating alcohol supplements in the fuel.

I'm guessing when it comes to ethanol resistant fuel line, one is going to
have to spend some coin to buy some really good stuff. As a Stihl Chainsaw
mechanic, one of the issues with the fuel lines that were German-made when
they used to import saws before the new facility was built in
NQ,
Have you seriously checked the price of diesel lately???
My calculations show that it is 12% above the cost of unleaded.
(here in arkansas)

The one I listed from eBay in rated at 225 psi. Fine for both injected
and carb'd models.
Unfortunately, I could only find the 5.6mm line. Next size up from the
seller is 7.6mm. That means injected VW's calling for 7mm hose are SOL
at he moment.
It costs about $3.28/foot if you buy 3 meters from
Thanks. I am getting some ethanol resistant line at least for the under car
components. I may still use the braided in the engine compartment for show
as it is much easier to switch those out if they degrade.

Mike,
Lordy, I must be gettin old...can't remember the exact mm, but take an old
piece with you to the auto store and maybe a fitting or an old fuel pump
with you to test the parts house stuff with for fit.
I am mostly on the 8mm stuff since I run turboed FI(megasquirt) and newer
bus stuff.
