Fuel vapour

[sultan]

Surge setup in boot, non teflon lined braided hose, the fuel vapours that seep through, do you reckon they're flammable?

Light a match and find out.

not sure about the braided lines but the pushloc gates hose thats non teflon seeps through and stinks, it can also seperate the two layers of hose and end up causing a fire.

IMO you should replace all of it with the correct teflon lined stuff. Its highly flamable vapour do you want to risk it over a few hundred dollars worth of hose?

i have teflon lined braided hose, it's just a prick to work with. i'm planning on replacing it at a later stage. it was put together by possum bourne and is specificly on the cert plate, so i doubt it's that much of an issue with what's used. the reason i'm considering the possibility is i'm thinking about putting an amp in the boot, and as the car sits for two weeks before being used, the vapours i guess could build up a little bit. i imagine when an amp switches on it could possibly emit a small spark at some stage in the process

I hope you have at least third party FIRE and theft insurance.
