What kind of fuel line do I need for E85, and where can I get some? I'm ready to install my Walbro 450 but it came with rubber hose. I always have heard that Ethanol will eat through rubber fuel lines over time.

 

Ive been running mine for three years on E85 with a rubber hose and i have yet to ever have a problem with it.

 

Oh alright. I ended up doing my own research this time and I decided that I am going to go with a Gate's submersible hose from O'reillys.

 

Get a nylon tube from racetronix

 

do you know if the nylon tube will fit over the walbro 450 feed? racetronix shows 8mm on the id. i believe the walbro 450 is slightly larger like 10 mm iirc.

 

If you heat the tube it will. I have a nylon tube on my 450.

 

badass thanks man! this is a better option. did you use a worm clamp or a oetiker style?

 

My recommendation is to buy a couple extra tubes - theyre cheap. The ends of the tube have to be heated to fit over the barbed output. I found the ideal temp to be when the plastic just started turning translucent. Any more then that they deform or kink. It takes quite a bit of force to get the tube on.

 

This is very true.

Oetiker clamps is what I used.

 

Good tip. ill try using a tapered punch to stretch the tube as i heat.
