2004 S4R.
I have a fuel tank with corrosion, no leaks.
I am planning on removing the rust with EVAPO-RUST, and Caswelling the tank.
I was thinking since I am in there already, I should probably replace all the rubber hoses.
Has anyone seen any ill effects from ethanol on fuel lines in or outside of their tanks?
And, am I being stupid if I replace working fuel pump and low fuel sensor? I am in the tank already, so, why not?
I wouldn't replace the pump. The sensor...maybe. They either work, or don't, and there's no telling when they'll fail.
Amazon has 5/16", and 1/4" submersible in one foot lengths... https://smile.amazon.com/Gates-27093-Fuel-Line-Hose/dp/B001R5XSGU/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZWWIPAWTJL7L&keywords=gates+27093&qid=1552846356&s=gateway&sprefix=gates+27093%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-1 ...for 5/16.
NaPa also carries it. Part# H209, for 5/16, but it's more money.
Appreciate the info 'painter.
I overprepare for just about everything. There are worst habits.
My thought was putting together a parts list and ordering online at Ducati of Omaha, and since I had the card out, what's another $500.00? It's certainly not a money issue to a point.
The bike runs great right now, just overthinking. I would hate to pull it all apart, put back together, only to find out the pump or sensor were in their happy place before being removed and take it out on me when putting it all back together.
