Wounded_Fighter Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Why would "newer" rubber fuel line near the fuel cell be cracking/failing just a few months after installed? I've purchased new hose to replace it but I feel like I'm just putting a bandaid on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most auto parts will sell you fuel line that cannot withstand the pressures of EFI as it is designed for carbureted vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get fuel line ask for fuel injection fuel line, stuffs expensive but worth it. If you just ask for fuel line they will usually give the cheaper price to make the customer happy.

Eagle Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Also make certain the line you get is rated for ethanol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wounded_Fighter Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 So far so good, got rid of some of the fuel scent too! Maybe it was seeping out of the old line a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
