I have since moved to XRP a few years ago on my Dragster and my Firebird’s fuel system from cell to carb is getting all new XRP hose and fittings right now, after 21 years of leak free, trouble free service from Aeroquip hoses and fittings, as part of the rebuild, upgrading and modernization to my Firebird that started December of 2022.

Also note that I have used Sunoco Race Fuels exclusively, all three blends, Standard/110, Supreme/112 my current fuel for both cars and Maximal/116 over the past 30+ years
