Don't bother with Aeroquip, buy Moquip TFE and fittings from Think Automotive. Fitted mine 10 years ago, no issues. Far less expensive for the
same product.

yes i have an account there, ill end up with the cheapest stuff they do that right for the job
either that or Torques on eBay look good ans have good feedback
any thoughts on not using the heavy stainless and going for the nomax braided stuff people say its alot lighter not sure on the costs though

Don't even consider normal fuel hose. Modern petrol simply eats it within 4 years, I know, been there sat in petrol. It should be R9 spec for
modern fuels but its virtually unobtainable in the UK, some of what is available is nasty fakes.
For the few ounces you would save is it really worth risking dying in a ball of fire.
