Re: Wanted: FLEX LINE - Ethanol Gas Resistant
You can make up your own flex line with ethanol resistant hose by salvaging the brass fittings from an old original flex hose, attaching new tubing to these fittings and clamping the hose at both ends with very small hose clamps. BUT by the time you do all of this and have a flex hose that looks nothing like the original, it's a good deal to get your flex hose from Gadgiteer or Gadgeteer (not sure how he spells that). His hoses look good, work well, and you may never have to worry about replacing this hose again. He sells a standard flow version and a check valve version. I have had his standard version on my car for over two years now but picked up a check valve version to see if it helps to eliminate flow back from FP to tank in my '35 fordor. If this car sits for several weeks, or more, I need to do a lot of cranking to get gas back up to carb. I'm thinking a lot of this is actually evaporation of this 10% ethanol gas from the carb fuel bowl. JMO
