one of the shops i do woprk for knows of 2 cars that have caught alight
due to unleaded fuel eating fuel lines

look at nearly every new model car
they have plastic fuel lines
holden and ford all use plastic click on fuel lines

shows how **** the automotive industry is that they sell efi fuel hose
even though they can cause so much damage
and all of us use it because no one wants to pay two arms and a leg
for the proper stuff when i work on their cars
if there were more incidents then the normal efi hose u get a repco
or auto shops would all be banned from sale

i know a gtr with this smell problem but its major job to redo hoses
so they fitted an oil cooler thermo fan in the boot to suck the fumes out
heheheheh
works a treat

I have heard of this from a few places down here.

None of my braided hoses are in an enclosed area, so I did not feel the need to change.

Cheers,

Ben

In the US you can buy the fittings and plastic fuel line to replace or repair the fuel line like the type Ford and Holden use.

Here is a bit of reading if anyone is interested. It is the SAE Standard for fuel and oil hoses.

I have never had any issues with aeroquip hose and i have now used it on 4 cars for feed and return lines. However, i have heard of some of their competitors hoses allowing seepage as you described.
