A few years ago I ran a -6 AN fuel system for my car with Summit braided rubber hose. After reading about the problems with braided rubber fuel hose I saw Summit now offers a braided Teflon hose. I ordered 10' to see, and this hose does not contain any rubber at all and looks as though it should work pretty well. Has anyone else used this stuff with success (or failure)?

Right now my car is carbed, but I am in the planning stages of EFI, and I'd like to do this job once only. I see many people talk about Teflon hose for EFI pressure, but not the Summit brand specifically.

I called Summit and their PTFE hose takes a special PTFE fitting and can't be used with traditional AN hose ends. And the hose ends are all on back order now...so much for that idea.

I've been using the PTFE braided hose from Pure Choice Motorsports (www.purechoicemotorsports.com). Good product and good folks to do business with. Be sure to order the hose ends in steel, much cheaper then the aluminum ones.

No more stinky garage and no more bits of hose in the injector baskets.
