METH. .....
I think he means ETH.....
I didn't know it was available in cloth outer jacketing....wonder what the source is?
Gates makes a version as Mark mentions available at the FLAPS and so does Goodyear....however they have a smooth outer jacket.
I think the real issue with the fuel is how long you store it and that it has a tendency to seperate and absorb water....depending on the climate. There are several good articles on this fact on the net on E-10. It is standard fare here in Cali and I add a stabilizer to it when the car is up on its jackstands.
I like not have to worry about it as much, so that's why I use the nitrile lined fuel line. Not that I don't ever inspect my fuel lines....I just don't worry about it as much.
Kind of a diminishing returns question Pat. More frequent inspection, risk and replacement vs. originality.
If they make one with a cloth jacket like the one of the members claims then that may be the way to go.
