Got a couple of E85 fuel hose questions Im looking into swapping my 01 ws6 over to e85 and wondering if anyone knew how much fuel hose to buy before I start? From what I have gathered I need aeroquip -8an for the main and -6an for return. Any information would be greatly appreciated I searched and had no luck. Trying to get everything I need before I start to cut out on down time.

I have two walbro 255s and 60lb injectors its not going to be forced induction right now just e85 and some laughing gas. I thought the stock fuel line would break down because of the e85 that would be great if I could use stock fuel lines.

Exx was started to be used in the late 80s, most anything worth its salt can run E85 and ( for the most part ) most cars can run it without any real changes. I ran it for 2 years on the stock system 60lb injectors , 1 walbro 340, @ 420 hp you are good with 1 pump

I'm getting ready to convert to e85 as well and from the info I have gathered you can run it on the stock fuel lines and fuel system without any problems. (Vehicles 87 and older will have corrosion problems with e85) As long as your fuel system can provide 20-30% more flow your good to go. Keep in mind when tuning us lambda instead of AFR

Would 1 walbro 255 gss340 be enough to run e85 and a 125shot with 60lb injectors or should I just go ahead and run both of them since I already have them?

For mine I used -8an line to run from the tank (i have 2 pumps 1 for n/a and the second kicks on with the nitrous) and I used the stock fuel line as the return. If you are using aftermarket fuel rails and fuel regulator Jegs sells a push lock fitting that can connect the stock fuel line to the aftermarket rail/regulator (its only a couple bucks).
