Are the fuel injector elbows that are available from the usual suppliers ethanol rated?
These elbows have the same NBR/CR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber lined) & (Chloroprene Rubber outer) as my Cohline 2134 fuel line that failed at my tank connection.  I'm replacing all Cohline 2134 fuel lines with Cohline 2240 (FPM lined). 2240 has a 60 mm minimum bend radius so I can't make my own elbows from 2240. Are there any other elbows on the market? https://cohpro.com/cohline-fuel-hose/  |

No.
Use fuel line with an SAE 30r9 rating for ethanol. Go to your FLAPS and ask to cut some off the spool that they almost certainly have in the back. If they let you cut from the bottom of the spool they will have more then enough natural bend for the application without kinking. These days I refuse to use ANY fuel line that does not have the proper SAE rating printed on the hose. Also, use proper fuel injection clamps - not the cheap-o worm gear clamps. Zach |
