Hi guys, im installing a walbro 460 e85 fuel pump into my r33 gtr cradle and will require at least half a meter of hose to sit intide the tank. Now im reading up that there is a special kind of submersable fuel hose but im having trouble finding out where i can get some of this on extreemly short notice? Anybody have any experience obtaining this? Im also in sydney if you can point me in the right direction! Thanks guys

find an efi shop. there is one in newcastle who has it in newcastle half meter packs. don't bother asking any auto part shop as they won't have any idea it exists. you will find the inside of all fuel hose is rated for contact with fuel but outside layer isn't and the normal stuff won't last long.

I still can't find e85 compatible hose if that's what you are looking for.

The e85 walbro pumps come with a short length, I tried sourcing them from Aznew who supply the pumps here, they couldn't help me. Perhaps try Walbro themselves...

I just use the Proflow intank hose from VPW.

I've used non submersible hose in the past and it was ok for 98RON, not sure how it will behave in E85.

However if you look on eBay, at times you'll find Gates Submersible E85 hose for about $25 delivered for a 30cm cut

i just got a 1 meter length of aeorflow submergable (400 series) hose from rocket industries. They have aparently had a peice of it sitting in methanol for months with no sign of degradation and that shit is harsh! Quite cheap as well at $14pm

wow that's cheap, I might have to head down myself and replace all my fuel hoses

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
