e85 fuel lines
 

where can i get my hands on some e85 compatible/larger fuel lines????? are they the same size as stock lines? or bigger??

Im not sure what you are asking ? but your stock lines are compatible with e85 and are free if you need larger lines i would looking into converting your fuel system to AN specifications doing so you could choose the size of the line you would like -8 -10 or even larger contact one of the vendors on here such as stm motorsports or map performance they all sell an fittings and stainless line that works great with e85.

Any reason why your are looking to replace the fuel lines. There are plenty of Evo's running around with stock fuel lines and 600, 700+.

And you can get regular fuel line. E85 is not a corrosive fuel. OEM lines are fine.

He has a evo 6, so maybe those lines are smaller than the more common 8/9's most people refer too. But you can't go wrong with OEM lines if they are large enough, if not Russel ProClassic seems to be the line of choice. Stainless steel lines I have seen fail after a few years use.

we use the pro lite black braided hose where i work, but even then we tell customer to be prepared to possibly need to change them out in 2-3 years due to the alcohol. the pro lite lasts longer than the stainless braided from my experience

intresting y does the pro lite last longer ? and is it as safe to run under a car like the stainless

im not sure, ive never really looked into it. we run it under cars and never have any issues, but then again, here in vegas, there isnt much in the way of bad weather or rough roads to damage it.

we also use stainless hardline, but it costs a bit more money.

My friend has put 25,000 miles on the stock fuel lines here with E85. It has also seen winter.

AWD broke down a motor that ran E85 consistently and it looked clean. I dont think OEM lines will be a problem over time.

E85 is corrosive!!!

Not to mention, if left sitting there it will absorb water and begin to rust things..

Im currently looking into an E85 fuel system for my Evo now.

Pretty reputable people on this site think otherwise.

its a myth

the lines are fine some fuel pump seals are damaged by it injector seals there was a tread a while back when it first came out about a shop put it in a car that wasnt flexfuled and the shop had to replace all fuel elements injectors tank pump filter... different car it was a lexus i belive but it still had some corrosiveness to it but on the evo the lines are fine i would upgrade the seals top and bottom the are resitant to harsh fuels and a better pump if you dont currently have one

All gas now has at least 15% ethanol in it so I believe newer cars are fine. Maybe older ones may have an issue.

With my experences running e85, I personally had no issues with part failure due to the fuel. Some of my buddies had a couple minor issues with injectors clogging up from crap coming loose that was inside the tank and a couple walbro failures from reasons currently unknown, will find out soon. I ran it for almost 2 years with my last Evo, with dual walbros and pte1000cc with a 9 turbo and htaGreen.

e85 DOES NOT REQUIRE DIFFERENT LINES...

also you dont need bigger fuel lines unless your making huge power. dont waste the time and money to change fuel lines, its a complete waste
