I use a steel braided teflon hose. I get it local from a hose manufacturer. But it can be found online also, search Braided Teflon (PTFE) Hose. Teflon is compatible with everything, and well stainless is stainless so its good, tough stuff. Other wise I used to use the $22 a foot, only sold in foot lengths gates shit. Not worth it for me.

 

I would recommend the $20/ft hose from Napa. The teflon s/s hose may not be flexible enough depending on your fuel setup.

 

I agree!!!

Get the gates hose.

27093 for 5/16's

27097 for 3/8's

 

I thought the gates stuff wasn't all that good for e85 sub-purposes?And yea I know they have a sub specific hose but didn't ready anyfeed back for the e-use

Make sure you get the hose rated at 250psi, the one rated at 100psi is junk! I blew a 5/8" hole in the 100psi rated line with a 255 walbro.

 

To be fair, those are listed not to be used in Fuel Injection applications for a reason.

 

The Gates hose is compatible with Ethanol. That's why we buy it.

 

K.I take it the above part numbers are for the gates then.you guys that are running it,how long and have you inspected it since install and use?not arguing with your choice I'm just trying to get all the info on it I can.and to specify it only going to be about 1.5ft in length intank feeding a 044

 

I checked gates website and it says not to emmerse in gasoline,so what does that leave me with if I dd on pump??

 

I used a hose from car quest I got from Tunerlover I don't remember the item number

 

CARQUEST - Product Information:CQ/GATES SMALL ID HOSE Submersible MPI Fuel Injection Hose - 5/16" ID x 12" length - Working Pressure 100 PSI

 

^^thought that 100psi stuff was junk?and I'm looking for a piece of -8 which I 1/2inch correct?

 

Their listed for fuel injection I dont see why it would be and issue...untill I personally have issues with it I wont call it junk

 

The hose will be SUBMERSED IN EHANOL. Being fuel injected has nothing to do with it.

This .......I only run maybe 80 with a 1 to 1 system at the most dont remember of the top of my head but no were near 100

He could possibly see near or over 100 psi. Not worth the chance.

 

Thanks for the input

 

Unless you are running over 100psi, I dont see the issue with using it.

 

This .......I only run maybe 80 with a 1 to 1 system at the most dont remember of the top of my head but no were near 100

 

Its only showing 5/16's and 3/8's any idea if comes in 1/2(-8)?and it states on gates site that it can't be immersed in gasoline,is that bs?I dd on pump so it has to be compatible

 

It not bs.

 

^fill me in d-rok what do you approve Of your basically building it

 

I dont know. I have only used the stuff at vic hub, but havnt checked the specs on it.

 

What pump set up are you using that you need 1/2 hose?

BTW this is straight from gates website. I dont know what gates website you are looking at. They wouldnt call it submersible hose if it wasnt.....:

Specially Engineered to be Submersible

Gates submersible fuel line hose contains a special compound referred to as Fluoroelastomer (FKM) which is highly resistant to fuel permeation and hose degredation through the aging process. The high strength Aramid fibre cord reinforcement offers increased burst strength.

It is this advanced construction that allows Gates submersible fuel line hose to exceed the SAE 30R10 rating, which is the standard for submersible fuel line hose application. It also makes the Gates submersible fuel line hose the perfect hose for submersible in-tank applications.

Key Features and Benefits

Engineered for constant contact with fuel (and other liquid petroleum distillates) on the inside and the outside.
Meets the SAE 30R10 specification for submersible fuel line hose applications.
Fluoroelastomer (FKM) construction of the outer cover resists fuel permeation and retards aging.
Aramid fibre cord reinforcement offers higher working pressures and increased burst strength.
Suitable for use with E85 ethanol blended fuels.

 

^^^^specs look good to me.

he will be using an external 044.

 

Actually, it says suitable for use with e. Dosnt say its ok to use when submersed in e.

 

Not to be smart azz. But it's submersible hose. If it say suitable for use with e85 blended fuels don't you think that mean it can be submerged in it?

I do.

That's why I questioned it...

 

Contact the manuf.

 

I will tomaro when they open up

 

The largest size they have I believe was 3/8s

 

If that's the case it won't work then,I will find out tomaro when I call em

 

It is possible.

But I have seen fuel line that can be sub'ed in fuel that is e-safe but its not rated to be sub'ed in e. Prime example is Gates Barricade.

 

Found that one out the hard way. Thanks, NAPA...

 

O I c^^

This is why I have a fuel cell with sump.

Am still waiting to call gates on the submersible,how about summits twist tite for external fuel Use that ok?

 

If you're being a stickler...
"This hose is NHRA approved, however it is not recommended for fuel line use."


I just replaced all my summit hose. From front to back, it was cracked and dried out from e85. It's garage kept, so any exposed line wasn't introduced to varying weather.
