Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,900 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
I'll be having my 72 redone over the winter, and am concerned about the levels of meth in contemporary fuels and the effect n rubber-based fuel lines.
Know that this has been discussed here before, but a search lead me to nothing. Caveat: I want to keep my 72 as original as possible. So, what are the current reco's for fuel line replacement? I'll be doing the Tangerine thing, but what about the internal lines? P |

Thanks for the replies guys! Sort of what I expected..
I live in a metro area of Philly. We have gas that is 10 percent Ethanol. Why I asked. So, if I read this correctly, there are no engine fuel lines that I should use that aren't nitrile lined. So, I'm originality oriented as you all know. My understanding is that the exterior surfaces of the 3M lines are smooth, versus textile (as new). Are the 3M lines really that much safer? Does no one provide a lined fuel hose that looks original? |
