Aluminum Fuel lines, and todays gas.
I have a Holley Truck Avenger that I am ready to bolt on.
My truck has an exsisting hard line, going to the edelbrock carb. I really like the idea of a hard line. Due to the connections, I'm going to have to bend an entire new fuel line. I'm worried about the 10% ethanol corroding the aluminum. Should I worry about this?

Re: Aluminum Fuel lines, and todays gas.
I would just go with the standard steel line, same as what came on it. All the reading I did on this topic said that aluminum line will get brittle from vibration over time. I have no personal experience with it but with other options readily available I steered clear of the aluminum.

Re: Aluminum Fuel lines, and todays gas.
Don't burn 10% ethanol gas if you can help it. Makes your gas mileage go way downhill, loses octane faster, and it deteriorates any rubber hoses, gaskets, powervalves, etc it comes in contact with.
Look here to see if you have any 100% gasoline in your area http://www.pure-gas.org/ |

I wish I could still find 100% gas around here.
