The only solution for this is to use a fuel line that is ethanol safe like any PTFE hose, AC Delco Greenshield or Earl's Vapor Guard. |
I recently installed brand new AN6 stainless steel braided fuel lines and had this issue. No leaks but there was a strong odor that came out of the tunnel (no fittings within) where I pulled the lines thru. I replaced those lines with teflon lined versions from BAT Inc./Mocal, who also helped me with some tough to find fittings and crimped on the fittings on one end. No odor so far (knock on wood).
