fragola 8000 series hose and E85?

[encasedmetal]

hi- I just put a whole new fuel system consisting of a glenns sumped tank- -10 feed and -6 return, aeromotive rails and regulator- glenns filter, 60# injectors and a weldon 1100-a pump. While I an sure the pump will be ok-I would like to know if anyone knows if my fuel lines will be ok- they're fragola push lock 8000 series black braided. thanks in advance

I have the same hose and will be going to e85 as well so i'm curious as well.

That's what Skaarew04SVT is running and has had no issues in the last year and a half.

That is good news. I'm using the same hose for E-85 as well.

fragola 8000 hose is a synthetic rubber and is impervious to e85. I have run that line with great success, and continue to do so!

We run the Fragola 8000 series pushlite hose on our E85 powered 2010 GT500 and I also run it on my 03 Cobra which was recently converted to E85. No issues at all. The shop that does our builds Power By The Hour also does quite a few E85 builds and they use the same hose without any issues as well.

Came into some cash and the System is being ordered

I'm trying to get some info on fuel "weep." My friend told me about a raw fuel smell in the garage that some have complained about from aftermarket fuel lines. Has anyone had this issue with Fragola? Aeroquip?

Just curious.

For those that are using Fragola, is there any reasons why you chose that over Aeroquip or vise versa or any other manufacturer? I was going to start a poll but I dont really thing its necessary.

Aeroquip makes a lot of different types of lines. The PTFE lines are THE BEST against Ethanol. Now if you get one of their lesser ones than yes you may get weep. Same with any other brand it just depends what version you get.

so you DO NOT have to go with above 60 lb injectors for this style setup? i was under the impression you needed at least 80s to run E85, no matter what the rest of the setup is....?

That is not true. It depends on your setup and the power you plan to make. Remember not everyone on here wants to run E85 on an 03-04 Cobra or GT500. He is running a 2.1L on a 97 cobra and looking to add E85.

^gotcha. I am just trying to figure out my setup as of now, i have sold everything and will be starting from scratch. All i have is my built motor on the way, and trying to decide on a blower

Hey guys is a -10 return line overkill on a e85 1000rwhp tt 4.6l engine?

Nope. I am running -10an on an 800rwhp return setup...which will most likely be about equal to a 1000rwhp turbo car.
