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/  |

Despite what I've read, I've forgone the elbow lines and have used straight fuel lines off of the injectors. It makes for tighter spaces, but it is possible to do without kinking the line/compromising flow.

Even if someone does sell ethanol safe elbows, they are always expensive compared to the straight hose. |
