You'll want an equivalent hose to use for the list of fittings below, so look at this example (SUM-240606BP). If I were to do it again, I WOULD do the PTFE nylon hose, AND use the corresponding fittings, because I guess they're better at keeping sealed up and what not. But - the hose, suggested above, is rated for E85, and more, so I guess I'll find out if it's bad or not.
Some clarification on the hose... PTFE is polytetrafluoroethylene aka Teflon. The part of the hose that carries the fuel is PTFE instead of nylon. It resembles refrigerator ice maker plastic tubing. The line is then wrapped with a steel braid, and then finally with an outer black nylon braid, which is purely for looks. Mainly clarifying that PTFE is a different kind of "plastic" than nylon.
