Default Submerging braided line

Is it OK to submerge braided line in the tank for plumbing 3 Walbros? Specifically with E85? I know the inside of the line is ok, but what about the outer casing?

You might consider a teflon type hose due to being in 85% ethanol. Earls has a proflex version of the teflon line and hardcoat anodized fittings.

They have the new stuff its either the black braid or the normal stainles. But the diff is the inside core is no longer rubber , but its teflon. I think its called proflex 750. Its a bit more expensive then the normal hose, but its worth it for safty with alky.
