Hi guys, What is the best practice in relation to keeping or disposing of the fuel line sheathing which presumably protects the fuel line as it travels to the fuel injectors across and around the air distribution system in the engine compartment? I remember reading past posts about a weird interaction between some nylon fuel hoses and the sheathing which produces a brownish residual almost like the hose is melting or slowly disintegrating. I replaced my fuel lines about four years ago with a good product for fuel injection but I'm looking to replace sections of hose again because I am noticing areas of this gummy phenomena. I am leaning toward replacing my hoses with the knitted / braided cloth FI hose instead of the more expensive nylon fuel injection hose and I'm thinking of completely doing away with the sheathing.
What sayeth the list? Thanks, BT |
