Just saw a post on Facebook of an orange 914 after it caught fire. Leaking fuel hoses were the cause. The weakest link seem to be the injector elbows as you can buy gates ethanol compatible fuel line but not the injector elbows. Anyone have a source or an alternative?

The regular fuel hose is 30r9, but I am assuming it is difficult to form it into a 90° elbow. |

QUOTE(Geezer914 @ Jan 24 2024, 11:09 AM) None specify if they are ethanol compatible. I wouldn't worry about it. It would be suicide to intentionally sell gasoline fuel lines today without being compatible with E10. I've been running those elbows for a few years now without issue. Other than you REALLY need to spend the money for the right clamps for these things, or they leak out the ends. I tried running straight lines but that resulted in the injector rail rubbing on other things. And they get in the way during engine R&R and you have to remove the injectors first. - GA For the Microsquirt install: https://www.fiveomotorsport.com/high-impeda...jaguar-porsche/ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/eadn-wc01-11639375.nxedge.io-15565-1706122154.1.jpg) |
