Fuel line upgrade? e85 safe?

[LotownAudi]

My fuel lines are all rusted at the metal crimps from fuel pump forward. I worry they will just pop one day and would like to upgrade to something. Looking around I can’t seem to find a good fuel line that will hold up to e85 for the long haul. Anyone replace all their lines ? Any tips ? Recommend fuel hose and from where.

JEGS, Russell, and aeromotive all make various PTFE lined hoses the utilize AN fittings. Braided steel and nylon id use nylon.

So what did you do just remove the hoses where there is a crimped connection and run the new line to the proper plastic hose and crimp it?
For the fuel filter area what did you do to the banjo bushings ? Just remove crimp and slide hose over barb and clamp?

Here is an aftermarket fuel system flow chart and parts list that I put together for people interested in installing an E85 high flowing fuel system. I highly recommend using carbon impregnated PTFE fuel hose like Earls speed seal. It doesn't weep fuel vapors like the rubber lined hoses.

***Also, you will not need the entire length of hose I included in the estimate as there is extra so you won't end up short. You can try an order less if you want to estimate the lengths you will actually need.
***The parallel setup could also be modified to use a dual inlet FPR, that way you could eliminate the need for am additional Y fitting in the feed lines. Adjust accordingly
