intend to replace the fuel lines out of respect for a new engine, fuel pump and filter, but have been warned that the new 10% Ethanol mix fuel will massively accelerate rubber hose failure, among other nasty side effects

anyone know if current spec standard rubber hose is already manufactured to withstand the Ethanol ?

anyone know where to get hose that is resistant ? Viton ?

cheers

From what I've read hoses made it the current standards will be OK it's just the older ones (pre 91?) that might have issues.
