Default Braided line suggestions-sources for teflon/ptfe -10 &-8 ?

Looking for line for my fuel system. This is going to be installed in a 66 chevelle. Planning E85 and trying to find a decent place/price for teflon braided line.

planning about 15 ft of -10 for feed from sump to engine and about 20 ft of -8 for rails and return line.


any reccommendations for line or any other e-85 safe braided line that would work for this set up?

Use the regular aeroquip pushlock stuff, tons of people using it with E85 including myself.

Personally I will not even use pushlok with gasoline yet E85.
To each his own, but I personally would not use it.

Do your research as it gets really expensive to do it twice.

Lonnie, I'll give you a call later this week, im working til wednesday. are the compression fittings for ptfe stainless or alum?

Only place i found decent graphite ptfe is from aerquip/eaton. Spendy but i should never have to change the fuel system, I hate to do things twice.

I have the graphite impregnated PTFE line.

The reusable fittings are aluminum.

The stainless variety is available but requires machine crimping.

With E85 the anodized aluminum variety seem to hold up well.
