Black braided fuel line, anyone had issues??

[EBMC]

Although a lot of summit brand parts work well, including their fittings, their hose is not one of them! We bought some a few years back to try on one of my personal cars and wound up throwing it all away. We have been using hardline andTeflon hose on most everything and for sure on any FI systems.

29 months = dry rot

I think I'm going to go back with Russel brand hose

Dry rot is what I figured.

I just ordered the PTFE hose from Pegasus Racing a month ago. It will be installed this week, so I cannot comment on it yet. But it was a little cheaper, and they had reusable fittings available as well...

trying not to have to replace fittings. Right now using the Summit brand black style fitting. Have had no issues with them in the 5 or so years and countless projects I have used them on.

I've got Earl's black braided hose on my TA. One of the first things I intend to do with the car when I start working on it again is replace all of it with hard lines and PTFE hose. The smell is terrible.

I used the summit brand fittings but used Russell black nylon hose and have had no problems with either of them.

I agree, I will only use hardline if I ever redo my flex lines, the smell sucks.

Like Steve said, for fuel it needs to be teflon lined.
