Title: Fuel hose size inside fuel tank
Post by: mandula on 04 September 2018, 08:19:00

Hi,

I'm upgrading my Omega to be used also with ethanol mixture.
I've already installed the kit (https://eflexfuel.com/en (https://eflexfuel.com/en)) and approved it at MOT. Government will also give me 200 e support so all together it was 190e + 1 hour own work to get it working.

Kilometer counter just went over 330 000 km, so will in advance replace fuel pump and also want to replace hoses inside tank to stuff that wont become brittle if I have only E85 in the tank.

So, does anybody have information what size of hose should I get inside the fuel tank?

Found a hose that can handle immersing inside ethanol/any fuel:

Cohline type 2190 - ID7,3/OD13,5 max 10bar

I think that will do the trick  :)

My usual recommendation...

Not sure how it works with ethanol though :-\

Actually all good...
