    Fuel lines for E85

    Are the stock lines good to go? Has there been issues with the rubber breaking down and clogging things yet? I'd rather not replace everything with PTFE if the OE stuff has been proven acceptable.

    People have been using the entire OEM system for a while now without any reported issues that I know of.

    But if you do upgrade MAKE SURE THEY ARE E85 COMPATABLE. Some are sold saying they are but are not so do your research. Chris hill did a thread on this.

    I have an IPO AFPR kit from 2006 and a 3sx fuel lab filter with SS lines from 2012, any easy way to tell if these are compatible?

    These were 3sx lines too. I think! I would contact ninja for the proper lines as he know his stuff when it comes to e85.

    Ninja also ran IPO back in the day, so I would check with him and see what he says. If in doubt, purchasing new E85 compatible lines is your best bet. PTFE lined gets my vote. I've used Summit and Russel PTFE lined hoses without issue for several folks.
