pricing all this out is killing me HA. What fuel line are you going to run? I was looking at the Russell ProClassic which is advertised on their site as fuel, oil, and antifreeze hose BUT Summit says its only for water, oil, and antifreeze...

I always run the summit brand hose. I've run trans fluid, oil, and fuel though it and haven't had any problems. I don't know who makes it but it has always been good quality.

I always use nylon just because it is black and easier to work with

Are you getting any fuel smell through that hose? I've read that it's recommended to go with PTFE lined hose with E85

I will take a pic for sure. Just need to get back down to the shop tomorrow.

I don't have any smell through the regular hose. It's always done fine for me but I just switched to E85 so we'll see. I've read people say they ptfe should be used as well but I also read a pretty good test that was performed on gas and e85. It came back that gasoline was actually more corrosive than the ethanol...

Actually i have read the opposite. Regular gas is alot worse on rubber due to the additives. I know i had gas stench when i had regular braided lines. After the swap i have no gas smell.
