Has anyone else had this problem? On my 2000 (external fuel pump) the return fuel line pops off due to the deterioration of the line from today's ethanol blended fuels. I have had this happen 3 times over the years, last year almost resulting in a crash as the fuel was dumping all over in front of my rear tire. I have replaced the factory spring clamps with good quality screw type F.I. clamps, and it still happens. I have replaced both fuel lines several times over the years with OEM lines. On the return line spigot on the tank, there is not much of a barb there. Is it possible to flare out the barb any bigger? I have not flared anything before, so I am not sure this is possible? I was also thinking of maybe building a new spigot with a bigger flared end and press fitting it over the existing spigot.
Also, has anyone found good quality ethanol resistant fuel lines?
Thanks for any help!
