Re: Plumbing for Ethanol

When I did an engine swap I figured I would plumb it for ethanol based fuels.

I ended up using steel fittings on the tank and bringing that to the front left corner of the tank. From there I used all nylon. I recommend using a heat gun or a little bit or oil/atf. If the nylon is cold, it is a lot harder to the get the line completely on.

I used a clamp every 18" or so, and put a braided heat-resistance sleeve where the fuel line goes over the exhaust to connect to the fuel rail. After a year and about 7000 miles, I was under my truck and checked most of the line. Everything has held up well and there are so signs of abrasion on the nylon.
