fuel hose

Stuggling to confirm which fuel hose is bio ethanol safe, I had fitted some ptfe teflon lined braided stainless steel hose and used normal hose clips but this did not seal on my solid fuel lines and just leaked so now need some other proper bio ethanol hose at a reasonable price.
Anyone confirm which hose I need.

Be careful there is fake stuff out there,

I used this after being stung with fake J30 R9 which when in contact with unleaded behaved like sponge.

(they also sell on ebay, not sure if it is cheaper there)

should have said, first car was running standard Ul, currently with the v8 I use Super.. the amount of alcohol I believe is less.
