Review on 16Ft Vincos AN6 Nylon & Stainless Steel Braided Fuel Hose + 6An Fitting Kit For Leak-Free Oil & Gas Transfer by Rudy Barron

Revainrating 2 out of 5

NOT suitable for E85…

Sections of my fuel system that used this hose started to leak after about 1.5 - 2 years of use. I ran only E85 with this hose and leaks started to spring up at different sections, at first I thought it was a bad install at the AN fitting, which I fixed quickly. Then it happened again on a different area except this time the leak was coming from a crack near the middle of the hose, and after inspection, the hose felt quite hard, so that’s when I began to suspect that the hose is failing. Then it happened one more time last week and again, it had a three inch crack down the hose. After I pulled out the hose and unwrapped the braiding, the rubber was quite brittle and easy split with my hands. I don’t think this hose is actually meant for E85 fuel at least so be careful if you plan on using this kit if you’re tuned on E85. The AN fittings are quite nice though.
