sredish Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I f'ed up my fuel line installing a new inline filter. It needed to be changed anyway and I have some coming from Rockymountain this week. However, I would like to ride this afternoon. I bought some regular rubber line from Auto Zone, but the dufus told me that premix would eat through the rubber, therefore I needed a special synthetic designed for a premix fuel. I hadn't heard that before, but my current hose is not a regular rubber, so I thought I'd check in with you all. I imagine I'll run it anyway, if it goes bad or starts leaking or whatever the f*^&, then I'll just take it off and steal some one else's whose dumb enough to leave their machine unattended. That usually works. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 If the line in question is labeled as fuel line or gasoline you're good to go. The oil portion will not eat anything, its the gasoline that will. Rubber is fine for temporary, vinyl or PVC is ok for a season and silicone is a no-no with gas. Methanol will run through just about anything without eating it. Gasoline is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
