petrol/gasoline resistant flex filament
I want to make a small plenum for a gasoline engine. The idea is to eliminate hose couplings to save space. What filament best suits this project?

Very interesting. The problem with gasoline these days is there are so many different chemicals added to it. Here in the US it varies region to region state to state. I'm unsure about the rest of the world.
I have been working with internal combustion engines for 40+ years and am very intrigued with the idea of printing parts for them. Can I ask what engine you are working on?
