[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 14450802, member: 141815"] I listened to someone and installed Starlite hose and my car reeks of fuel whenever it is parked in an enclosed area. A lot of people will say Starlite is approved for E85 and it is. But it also allows the permeation of hydrocarbons through its inner tube, so it will reek with the smell of the gasoline component of E85. I called Eaton/Aeroquip's tech line to verify this and they flat out told me that the Starlite will permeate fuel vapors through the liner after my car stunk so bad. The Eaton/Aeroquip tech rep also told me that hoses made with an inner liner with the lowest possible permeation rate on the market is a PTFE Teflon lined hose. He said if I want to get rid of the odor that I would have to install all new hoses with the PTFE liner on the car. The problem is using this material for the liner tube usually increases the bend radius substantially. Goodridge makes the 811 and 910 series hoses with a smooth bore liner, but the outer layer of the liner is convoluted to allow it to bend a much tighter radius than any other brand of standard PTFE Teflon hose on the market. The 811 series hose has a stainless steel braided cover. The 910 series hose has an Aramid braided cover. Aramid has the same exact properties as the Kelvar and Nomex used in the braided cover of Starlite hose. In fact the Aramid material is the base material that Kelvar and Nomex is made from. The only thing wrong with the Goodridge hose is the price of it, when you compare it to Starlite. It is roughly 250% more expensive to use. I plan on changing my car to the Goodridge 910 shortly.
