Ethanol will eat the inside of conventional gas lines...or so I believe. Is
there an official name or brand name for the Ethanol resistant gas line?

Mike,

30R7 is what you want. For high pressure, or even more durability,
30R9. 30R10 if the fuel will contact the outside, as inside a fuel
tank.

Ken - where did you find info on the 30R10 hose? I could not find it in the Goodyear web site. Is this something the parts store (I have a good one) will have if I refer to the 30R10 spec?

Steve,

Try this one; I thought it was covered at the other site I cited:

http://www.gates.com/brochure.cfm?brochure=5091&location_id=541

As for purchase, that may require the internet -- my local parts store
has to special order even 30R9 -- I haven't asked for 30R10.
