Im planning on doing my e85 set up but I don't if I should change all the fuel lines, should I stick with the stock rubber hoses or change them, and if so to which hoses

No need to change anything other than injectors and fuel pump to keep up with the increased fuel demands.

Heres a thread I remember from my local forum that noted EvOX fuel line discoloration /damage

This was 2009 so maybe this issue was sorted by Mitsu or not really a valid report Take it w/a grain of salt

That line that it points to is NOT a factory fuel line. The black one is factory.


What that line that is discolored is a "OE" replacement for guys that didn't want to use a Gates Submersible fuel hose alternative. Now you know that type of "OE" replacement isn't actually up to par.

Yeah, that's not an OEM line. Also, discoloration does not equal damaged.
