E85 Eating Fuel Lines?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

The black goo is something different than the lines failing, but I have seen it happen. I have had aftermarket lines get all gooey and fail on pump gas cars also, but it was a specific brand of lines that just sucked.

If you get fuel on the outside of most lines, including SS lines, they will fail.

Just last year I had my supply line rupture right before the filter in the engine bay. the car wouldn't even start. I have -10 an SS supply and looking at the line it was like the rubber had folded into the middle of the line. I have know idea how old the lines are, but they had run E85 in them and I had pump gas in them at the time of failure. I just plan on replacing all lines this next fall when it goes into storage for the winter.
