Hood mounted FP gauge, new hose for e85?

[Roc87]

Should I change out the braided stainless hose that currently runs to my hood mounted FP gauge when I switch to e85? I don't know what brand the existing hose is or who made it, came from Summit and probably just the cheapest AN line they had at the time, hose has been on the car for 4 or 5 years.

I doubt the E-85 would be the cause, but probably a good idea to update hose due to age and underhood heat............. never hurts to be safe!

I ran older AN rubber hose with 50% e85 and 50% 93 octane gas and had injectors plug up and blinded Filter elements. I would go with Teflon lined hose! None of the major AN hose manufacturers recommend their rubber lined hoses for alcohol!
