Submersible fuel line for fuel pump
#11
Just ordered Gates 27093, 1' length 5/16 ID submersible fuel injection line, from my local O'Reillys for $26. I prefer not to risk it. It's only a 2-hour job to swap the line.
I'll do an experiment and soak my spare H357 hose in gas and see what happens.

I used generic fuel line in a pinch on my Aeromotive pump install with clamps and it swole up and popped off in about 3 days. I ordered and installed the Gates 27093 and so far so good.

I swapped the line today, and good thing I did!!!
The hose actually wasn't in bad shape. It did swell slightly and feels a little mushier. But here's the part that got me. The side of the hose says
"FUEL VAPOR >PCV/EEC< 5/16 INCH (8.0mm) SAE 30R7 NOT FOR FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMS MADE IN U.S.A. BY GATES"
No wonder it was so cheap, those dumbasses gave me the wrong hose. I'm very glad I swapped it out. The Gates 27093 fit perfectly. Took about 1.5 hours to change.
