Haven’t dropped the tank on my 2011 or 2012 (just picked up another!) XC70 yet to know if using crumby hosing on the tank side of things but after the tank it’s all metal sold hardline until back in the engine bay where I losing it again in the mess. So a large section of my factory tuning is all metal. I typically avoid running more than 15% ethanol, I hate ethanol because it’s so damaging… I haven’t had any leaking or issues yet, you may wanna find another fuel source or mix your own blend so you know how much each part you added vs possibly unknown. My local station for example blends in ethanol at the pump when you selection E15 up to E85, however using a simple tester I found that while very uncommon, I have gotten upwards of an E20 on my E15 pump. It would have still ran in my car but I limit it at 15%.
Ethanol in the fuel destroying the hose? I use fluoro-elastomer lined rubber hose (Mocal brand) in my Volvo race car. The previous car, which never had ethanol in the fuel, I used LMA high pressure hose (way cheaper) and that was still going strong 5 years later.
Michael, I see from your license plates that you are in Georgia. I am as well and I am building a C30 for endurance racing. I would really like to talk to you about your C30. Is there a way that we can get in contact?
Still working on it, awesome. I'm still looking for one to buy.

Ade I am building a C30 for endurance racing and would love to know more about your car. Is there a way that we can get in contact? Email?
Actually FIA J anex will not allow chromoly tubing in rollcages anymore due to the heating process that is needed to make them resistent.
There was no mouse. C30 fumes are giving you hallucinations
