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/ |

Got these from Pelican a while back. Here is current listing I called Pelican Parts today about those fuel injector line elbows and they could not verify if they are ethanol safe. The image of 914 FUEL INJECTOR LINE ELBOW in the original post is from the autoatlanta.com site with the NBR/CR printed on the hose. That is the same stamping that is on the Cohline 2134 fuel line hose that failed on me. I'm changing all fuel lines to Cohline 2240 FPM lined (FPM/FKM/Viton are all fluoro-elastomer materials). I'm told that this is the fuel line that IS ethanol safe. |
