VITON fuel line

I have been looking for VITON fuel line in 3/16" 5/16" and 3/8"

The only place I've found it is Mc Master-Carr.
There's looks to fit all of the temperature requirements etc. but it is not reinforced.

Do you guys think it will work? Is viton line ever reinforced? Does anyone else sell it?

It's actually kind of "rubbery" but it's not rubber. It's better resistant to biodiesel and regular diesel.

Viton Hose Source

Look here:

Grease Works! :: Biodiesel, SVO & VW Specialists®

They are close to you as well, Corvallis.

How do you plan to deal with the seals in your injectors and I.P.?

Actually I don't know if I'll ever run biodiesel or WVO etc. I just figure if your going to run all new fuel lines/return lines you might as well do it right.
I'll probably have these two IDIs for ever so they might as well be bio ready.
If I ever have to run on it exclusively I'll deal with the IP then.

Thanks for the info!
I was just going to buy a bunch of it but if I can get it local for around the same price I can just get what I need now as I'm only redoing my '94 currently. Plus I can find out what they're running with sucess.

Sounds good D/C.

Do me a favor and feed back what you find. I haven't done any busines with this source so it's a bit of question. I guess I figured that I would look them up eventually.

Personally, I like to look my parts guy in the eye. Always seems to work better.

I haven't ran into viton line. I use viton o-rings allot or heat and I have some viton gloves.

If I need rubber line in a place where a good quality line won't work I use Parker Pushlok Hose. The smallest 1/4" though. I know that Parker says it isn't rated for fuels but that is lawyer stuff. It works fine. As a matter of fact there is one very popular company that sells the pretty stainless braided hose for fuel on race cars ect. that is Pushlok hose that "They" wrap their braid on and sell it for twice the money.
