Re: [AMC-list] 58 American - rust in gas

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

A full length run of fuel hose is not a good idea. If you can get the 
factory line off without destroying it, places like Inline Tube can make 
a new one.

As far as ethanol damaging fuel hose, that's total BS for any fuel hose 
made in the last 30 years (if yours is older, replace it now). We got 
ethanol in our gas in the late 70's and it hasn't caused any damage to 
anything. It will break down some gunk that has formed in the fuel 
system (cleaning the gas tank and rebuilding the carb will fix that) but 
it really isn't the problem some people think it is.
