In-Tank Fuel Hose

[asps91]

Hi guys, im installing a walbro 460 e85 fuel pump into my r33 gtr cradle and will require at least half a meter of hose to sit intide the tank. Now im reading up that there is a special kind of submersable fuel hose but im having trouble finding out where i can get some of this on extreemly short notice? Anybody have any experience obtaining this? Im also in sydney if you can point me in the right direction! Thanks guys

find an efi shop. there is one in newcastle who has it in newcastle half meter packs. don't bother asking any auto part shop as they won't have any idea it exists. you will find the inside of all fuel hose is rated for contact with fuel but outside layer isn't and the normal stuff won't last long.

I still can't find e85 compatible hose if that's what you are looking for.

The e85 walbro pumps come with a short length, I tried sourcing them from Aznew who supply the pumps here, they couldn't help me. Perhaps try Walbro themselves...

I just use the Proflow intank hose from VPW.

I use generic submersible hose

Some of the Gates stuff is suitable for E85. I bought it from Repco here in Perth, I didnt even have to wait - they had it in stock.

I've used non submersible hose in the past and it was ok for 98RON, not sure how it will behave in E85.

However if you look on eBay, at times you'll find Gates Submersible E85 hose for about $25 delivered for a 30cm cut

i just got a 1 meter length of aeorflow submergable (400 series) hose from rocket industries. They have aparently had a peice of it sitting in methanol for months with no sign of degradation and that shit is harsh! Quite cheap as well at $14pm
