I know this doesn't belong here, but figured I would get the most informative responses here (so mods move it if you must), but does anyone happen to know if Eaton Aeroquip Startite Racing hose is Ethanol (E-85) compatable? The website states that it is for fuel, lube, and coolant...but does not state what fuel it is compatable with. So, maybe someone just happens to have had experience with this.

PS...The sad thing about this question is that I work for Eaton Aeroquip, but in the PTFE hose division, so no resources here, lol

 

Ok, I'm sure noone really needs to know this, but for anyone who likes knowing random stuff....Yes, Aeroquip Startlite hose (AQP Elastomer liner) is deemed as "Excellent" for use with ethyl alcohol (ethanol), so e85 (85% ethanol, 15% 87 octane gasoline) is perfectly fine.

Just so happens even though we don't make it here, we have a book that tells all of eaton aeroquips hoses chemical compatability.

 

You work at Eaton huh... Whats your price on a Nissan Titan Detroit Locker TruTrac?

 

Haha, well I work in the hydraulics division, automotive is complete different. But my plant is a cost only, internal seller, so I can't buy anything we even make at all. I hate having teflon lined braided hose on my desk that I can't use

 

Ouch yeah that does suck...
