Teflon fuel line??

[mase86]

I asked this one before the site crashed and seeing if anyone is running it

anyone use the teflon fuel hose. If so which one have you used. I'm looking at the ones buy aerquip and also the ones on the Pegasus there 811 PTFE.

You piqued my interest when you asked last time. I looked around and read some stuff, but all of it was from the internet so......ya know. Anyway, it seems the big reason to go with teflon is that the inner hose won't wear out like the rubber inside the regular braided hoses. Apparently name brand hoses like Russell, Aeroquip, Earl's, etc, all use a synthetic rubber for the hose rather than a regulations rubber that's used to make the regulations fuel hose that's available at parts stores. So yes, teflon is far superior to stock rubber lines, and it is better than regulations AN braided hoses, too, but not really by much.

For more information than you want (and you can trust!) Go to your local Parker store and ask them . That's probably where you'll wind up buying the teflon stuff from anyways, and they can make all your hoses with whatever kind of end while you stand there.

Yeah I was looking a most people's lines were weeping. The vir dicey was when people were doing repairs they didn't cap off the fuel lines. I guess this is weird to me that fuel would deteriorate the line that bad due to the line not being capped off. Why does this not happen from what I know on regular oem lines?

I know with age the factory rubber lines get brittle and can crack, but that was on my car that sat for 11 years before I got it. I just changed the fuel filter on my 97 Camry and the rubber hose to the rail was as soft and flexible as a brand new hose. I reckon different brands of hoses are made of different quality and type of rubber. Why else does one car have failures/issues while the next doesn't? I need to do mine bad. I have rubber line clamped to a plastic universal filter right before the pump. I thought the pump fittings were leaking, it's the filter. So screw it, I'm going with braided lines.

Yeah. I would go with the crimp on style fittings for the braided Teflon but the crimpers are do expensive at over $1200 bucks ill use the push-on fitting that are for it. Also I'm pretty sure that the side2side racing site one of the guys is on here. I remember seeing the SN mr220v on here before the site crashed.
