Default Re: kit fuel line

Something to keep in mind when buying fuel hose from an auto parts store. Because of the new alcohol blend fuels you should always opt for the high priced fuel line as opposed to the older/cheaper, neoprene type. I got an emergency e-mail from my auto insurance company regarding this issue a year ago and shortly after experienced a fuel leak on my hot rod. The old fuel line had deteriorated due to its incompatibility with the alcohol fuels we have here in Colorado. Like the man says, "It ain't cheap." but what's a couple of dollars compared with the price to replace your bike/hot rod/boat etc. if it burns?
