QUOTE(McMark @ Jul 31 2012, 07:36 PM)  I just looked into all this and agree with above. But one thought that I had while doing research was that the "Not for fuel injection" hose has a working pressure of 50 psi and a burst pressure in the range of 100psi. I can understand why the manufacturer would print that on there (cover their asses), but since our system runs well below the working pressure of the carb line, why shouldn't we save money and use it? I had non EFI hose after the pump, in the front trunk. I worked for a long time. The constant pressure and release (pump on/off) over time wore out the internal threads. It burst one day on the freeway. I watched the gas gauge move to empty as I drove. Running 43psi rail. I will never use non EFI rated hose again. |
