E85 Eating Fuel Lines?

[carltalon]

The - 6an feed line on my laser was breaking down when I desided to part of out. It would clog the filter very quickly. Not all braided stainless lines are alcohol compatible. I'm still running the stock feed on my eclipse. I never store it with E85 in the lines and tank. I always switch back to regular pump before winter

I just put Stabil in the tank, works perfectly every year.

Yes E85 will eat your SS lines. It happened to my lines in several different spots from the front to back of the car. Notice the black spots in this pic

But blageo23 your issue is Black goo. its just some chemical reaction that happens with E85. Especially when a car sits. Not sure why. You just fix it by running regular gas every so often and it'll clear it up.

BAGEL,

Could it be that since your entire feed line is SS AN line, which as you know is just essentially rubber hose, is falling apart from the inside?. Wonder if you could pull a section to verify its not deteriorating.

I ran e85 from the same areas you would get it and never had a clogged filter (but did have gooey tips).

Worst case you could get some AN anodized aluminum hardline and be a baller.
