Polytetrafluoroethylene (PFTE) also know by it's most common DuPont brand name of Teflon.

Race Part Solutions has PTFE. Just checked them out, their prices are pretty good

Yes, but the question is, is there such thing as PTFE lined Nylon hose?

I also can't find any such thing. Russel ProClassic and other Nylon hose all come with a rubber core. Which makes me wonder why it's so commonly used with E85 considering Ethanol is supposedly extremely corrosive...

I could be wrong, but isn't synthetic rubber was safe to run with alcohol?

Brown& Miller Racing Solutions and XRP both have PTFE nylon braided hoses, unfortunately it's only crimp on fittings due to how PTFE hoses work vs a Rubber core nylon hose. So if anything it'll be a one off hose that you have made.

XRP, Inc. The Nylon braided Teflon is under the HS-79 section

I've got rubber core lines that have been in the car 6+ years and I've been running E85 all that time with fuel pressures as high as 90 psi.

No leaks or other "issues".

I've even run E95 (5% Methanol, 95% Ethanol) without any issues.

This is awesome. You ever have issues with Goo build up? I recently posted a thread about my E85 goo and I'm curious as to why it happened. Some people claim to have never had a build up.
