I purchased mine from this place. Have run it for a few years now with no issues. http://www.johnnylawmotors.com/cata...10015503/ruby-red-fuel-hoses?attribute-11=207 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
That is a Hoffman Group company. I would not trust any of their products to do anything that they are claimed to do, and especially not fuel lines. Any company that has a terms-of-service page that has thirteen-thousand, five-hundred-eighty-two words indemnifying them against any harm that they might do to you simply cannot be trusted.
I have heard similar things, however this was the only place I was able to find red fuel line that worked with ethanol fuel. Two years now no issues. Maybe it can be found someplace else? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I use 3/8 stainless brake lines and polish them with Mother's chrome and mag wheel polish. You get a chrome like finish pretty quickly. Here's an example when I had the deuces on the engine. I think it looks better than red tubing.
Is that like the old yellow stuff that became hard like plexigl*** after a couple of years so it always failed when you had to disconnect it?
Aesthetics aside I would only use ethanol rated fuel injection hose. My '32 had the red clear hose on it when I bought it. It was a few years old and quite hard, but not to the point of brittle. It was the very first thing I changed when I got the car home. Electric fuel pump, plastic fuel line, and time = burned up hot rod! KK
Thank for the input everyone, I think I'll skip the traditional red look and stick with the new stuff for the new fuel, maybe someone will come out with some new old look stuff in the future
Montgomery Scott will warp back here, make you up some red transparent aluminum fuel lines and you will be all like, And then he'll say something in a heavy brawl like "Aye laddie, that's the ticket". McCoy will just stand there with that condescending look and say "dammit kennj, I'm a mechanic not an engineer"
