hi,
i have just mot'd my 205 gti6 for the first time in 5 years and its finally on the road again but i have a problem with cheap fuel lines, i fitted rubber renforced hoses inside the car and they smell of fuel all the time, heard about teflon lined hoses and that they stop the problem
anyone had same issues and or used teflon lined hoses??

You really shouldn't be running your fuel lines through the cabin, I've had the same problem in the past. Use the best tubing you can afford & run it underneath

Cool

Use teflon-lined hoses through the rally cars and never suffer with any fuel smell tbh.
Definately not weeping at fitting though? It'll be hard to see as it flashes off..

Steel braided and clear plastic sheathed over that, I get mine from a local hydraulics firm but it's all Aeroquip stuff.
