Default Fuel line decision

I'm putting a inline pump on my truck from magnafuel and changing to braided hose. I will be running e85 so do I go with ptfe hose or will rubber be fine? Let me know what works best. Thank you

Make sure you get the special fittings needed for PTFE lined hose.

The first couple are a PITA, but I did my whole fuel system with it and if you have the right tools it isn't bad.

I have redone my fuel system/lines 4 times, because i am a retard... I have always used PTFE lines, they are a PIA and basically cost twice as much...

What makes them so difficult? I've watched a couple videos on youtube of assembly, seems very straightforward.
