Braided fuel hose
'Several' (ahem) years ago I bought a fuel line kit from Tifosi, consisting of aluminium hard hose and some stainless steel braided hose.
At the time I was told it was suitable for fuel injection, but have no paperwork to support this. I don't see the hard hose being a problem,
but will the IVA Man need to see the spec on the stainless steel braided hose?
Thanks

I have stopped using braided fuel hose as I have had problems with it going porous and not being able to inspect the fuel lines. Couple that with the
pressure in a fuel injected car and it produces a fine mist of fuel and has resulted in a fire on my own car.
So now I only use hard fuel lines or Gates fuel hose where appropriate.

I think I will opt for -4 hardlines. The stuff I have is -6, hence the need for the rubber pipes to join the outlets from the OEM stuff. -4
throughout means I can use the original ford stuff.
Anyone want 4m of unused -6 ?
