911 SC engine fuel lines/hose

Who makes the replacement fuel lines in the engine bay? Not the injector lines but the rubber hoses to the filter/accumulator etc....

I've heard the Porsche replacements don't hold up that well with the alcohol but do not know.

Anyone here making them.…

BTW...I did search but couldn't wade thru everything.....

I just replaced all my original rubber lines with 5/16" (7.9 mm) Gates Barricade Greenshield lines. Cut the old collars with a dremel, split them off the connections. Removed the old lines and replaced with the Barricade while using fuel injection clamps.

Some would claim this is a shade tree approach however it works and if you check your hoses you will be fine. Barricade is rated for 225 PSI. You can also get ethanol rated Cohline FI hose from Belmetric in the proper diameter (7.5 mm). This hose is rated for 145 psi.

Lastly, you can look up BoxterGT on this forum, he make the complete hoses with the original style crimp collars. This approach is a remove and replace. There will be some messing around - there is always messing around.
