Good article on Ethanol & fuel hoses.

  1. Wayoutwestie has compiled an informative article on the effects of ethanol on fuel hoses. I think most of us know how important it is to regularly check fuel hoses for perishing to prevent fuel leaks & fires.

    Strange though, the lower grade recommended/tested petrol hose is rated to 50 degrees C by Cohline

    And the higher temperature rated hose he checks is a bio-Diesel not petrol hose. Even the lower rated hose withstands much higher temperatures when filled with diesel..


    I still prefer the Goodridge 200 stainless braided... 150 degrees C and almost any vehicle fuel ..
