So I used "regular" (non-conductive) PTFE hoses (Vibrant brand 8an and 6an) for my E85/Flex conversion and I see some people are making a big deal of how it can build static, etc... I have already run the lines but if it's really a big deal I guess I can re-run them with conductive PTFE lines but Is it REALLY an issue for a weekend car? How come they sell this stuff it's not right then lol?

 

If you're that concerned about it, ground them in a few spots. I doubt it is an issue.

 

Hey whats up G Atsma! So you're saying if I put like some sort of grounded wire around it on each end maybe it would be the same but not really needed? Seems like most people use the regular Type A non-conductive ptfe anyway hmmmm.... Maybe I should not worry about it lol idk

 

Hoses are grounded through the fittings on their ends. Besides, even if they could build up static, exactly what is the supposed problem?

 

Ok so they should be fine then. I kinda over thought this after watching a youtube video of a guy pushing Fragola hoses and fittings (He's a seller so go figure) and he was going on about how Fragola is conductive and grounded unlike most other brands but then how many cars out there using all the "other brands" ? ALOT...without issues, soooo yeah...

Here is the video where he talks about it as well - Forward to the 2:00 mark where he starts talking about it :

 

Holy snake oil bullshit! Good thing those first 100+ years of cars using non conductive rubber fuel line did not immediately send their drivers to hell, lol.
