Hot Rods Translucent fuel lines. Who is using them?

I'd suggest if you are determined to use vinyl, change it every year, I've used it on hot rods for years but just didn't like the way it looked and felt after a year on the road.

 

After we have talked about our expeience wiyh rubber or other flex able line .I walked Out to the shop and wrote on the to do Board Change all rubber fuel lines A S A P Thank you Hambers You might have saved my Essex ,58, farm tractors from burning. Don in corn field, In. I had to edit I forgot when I change my Flex lines I will cut them open and we will see what this modern fuel has done to them. Stay tuned After Station Identication

 

I change out my lines fairly often,it works out to be about every 8 months or so,first sign of them going from red to yellowish or getting stiff. Over the years I've used up a fair amount,but still love the look,always be carefull. In the 90s it got real hard to find new,so did go with black a short time then,just not the same feel/look for me.

 

You're showing your age. Apparently Everclear has been defanged, a sure sign of a civilization near collapse. I'd never touch the stuff, though for the hobbyist it was an easy way to obtain near pure ethanol, useful for all kinds of things. Maybe there's still some NOS available.

 

I use it in my chainsaw but that's it. Fuel issue in chainsaw is usually a deteriorated fuel line. Cool does not factor in to fuel delivery on a automobile IMO

 

I use it on all my stuff. love it!

 

I gave up on rubber or other flexible things.

 

All metal fuel lines are probably fine as long as they have loops where they need to flex significantly. Jack E/NJ
