Im in the process of figuring out what way to go with my fuel system and im thinking i'd like to run e85. Anyway looking everywhere on the net im struggling to find 180 degree PTFE hose ends in a -6 size.
I can find -3, -4, -8, -10 but nothing in -6

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find what im after and if possible im after just black anodized not blue or red.

While im at it i may aswell ask this here too, is it necessary to use PTFE hose for E85 or will regular braided hose do the job? Might save me trying to track down these hard to come by PTFE hose ends.

Try pegasus racing... and do not use regular braided hose with E85. It deteriorates bad enough with E10.

I'd do some checking before buying that stuff...the pictures on their site show a white teflon inner core. Fuel rated PTFE line is black, and has conductive/anti-static properties that are important when dealing with flammable liquids.

This is what the guys at TechAFX told me.

I have a call into a engineer at aeroquip to verify this.

Rubber Won’t Work! This is important because today’s fuel is so caustic that old school, rubber-core braided lines will start to weep and fail after about 12 to 18 months of exposure to the fuel. Rubber hoses start to seep fuel vapor long before they fail (notice how your garage smells like gasoline when your car sits for a while? That’s the rubber seeping fuel vapor…). Teflon/Conductive Core Hoses The ‘conductive’ aspect of the PTFE hose is a carbon layer that is applied to the inside diameter of the hose to allow any static charge in the hose to transfer into the fittings and then be safely ‘grounded’ into the vehicle. Static charge is generated by the fuel passing through the PTFE hose. So…never run ‘white’ or non-conductive PTFE hose in your vehicle—this is a HUGE safety issue. TechAFX conductive core, PTFE hose braided steel hose uses the same construction materials as what all the O.E.M.s (Original Equipment Manufacturers) use on today’s production cars. You can expect superior quality & excellent durability from TechAFX PTFE products. We have the test results to prove it

Wow, that stuff does look nice! With the rubber type outer jacket it will also prevent the hose from chafing your undercarriage and engine bay.
