I have no idea, but just out of interest - why? Why not use proper marked fuel hose?

I used some sort of plastic hose for my fuel supply when I built the car , it's been OK for 6 years or so . It is now used as a fuel return
since I converted to TBs Most manufacturers use some sort of plastic for the high pressure system now

I can't remember either now and would like to find out again,
When I was last in a "Pipe Center" ages ago they had a booklet for their industrial plastic pipework range and inside it had what plastics
were safe with what materials like Chlorine, petrol, etc
It might be worth popping in and asking if there's one near you,

It would be useful knowledge to post up for others if you did manage to find out
