Ethanol damage-evidence

[Jvisconti]

I have a 1969 Fiat 124. Fuel line coming out of gas tank , the rubber is dry rot and just broke apart. Replaced new hose from copper line and cut the original hose as close as I could to fuel tank and connected with metal fuel line. All fuel drained out of line, does the fuel line now need to be primed (cannot get gas to carb) or can I suspect damage of rubber line inside gas tank itself too.

Are there any alternate parts that can be used to eliminate/reduce the damage done by Ethanol? I recently took off the fuel filler hose after some serious dry rot and I am wanting to replace it with something that will last forever (if possible) I know AR has an "Ethanol resistant" hose, but it is still a rubber hose. Does anyone know of any other options?

I just saw this comment. All cars sold in the last ~10 years come with rubber parts that resist ethanl. The fuel filler hose we sell meets the specs of these new rubber hoses, so I am not sure what more would you want? Yes, it's still a rubber hose, one that resist ethanol.

you should use steel tubing, not copper for fuel

There are several products on the market to protect your carburetor from damage, I carry the Driven brand by Joe Gibbs as I feel it's the best one on the market
