Nu fick jag svar från Gates om dokumentation av deras slanger. De skickade en tech note som jag kommer lägga upp på siten, de intressanta delar:
Citat:
E85 Fuels
• 85% Ethanol with 15% gasoline is not an aggressive fuel with respect to rubber compounds.
• Any grade of nitrile rubber designed to handle refined gasoline will work with E85.
• Longhorn, Longhorn AF, Steer, Maverick, Brahma, Sea Horse and RLA are acceptable for normal transfer applications.
• C5M, 4219BG, 4219M and 4219G are acceptable for fuel lines.
E15 Fuels
• 15% ethanol level is more chemically aggressive, with respect to rubber materials, than 85% ethanol.
• Very good grades of nitrile compounds – use Longhorn AF for Petroleum Transfer
• C5M, 4219BG and 4219D (FKM) are recommended Fuel lines.
100% Ethanol
• Used to make E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) and E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline) grades
• Can be treated as a chemical additive and transferred with chemical hoses such as Colt (EPDM), Mustang (Gatron) or Renegade (UHMWPE) and standard grade nitrile hoses.
