PTFE holds up to darn near anything. I use it for brake fluid and methanol.

I personally used the black aero quip push lock hose. Been two years with e85 sitting in them and they are like new inside and out.

I know the inside is still perfect because I changed my crossover setup on my rails and they looked perfect inside still.

That's about as budget as it gets, everything else is pretty pricey if your talking "budget"

Whichever route you go make sure to get PTFE if you plan on letting E85 sit in the fuel system for any prolonged period of time. Some people near me have gotten lucky with the non-PTFE lines but others have degraded the internal material of the lines.

just make sure that the inner lining has a black coating on it. it is to prevent any static discharge on fuel lines.

I got my fuel line setup from nitrous outlet. If u know exactly what you need and the bends they can press them on. But you have to be exactly sure of how u want it and the measurements.

Aeroquip AQP push-lock. It is synthetic rubber and 100% E-85 compatible.
