I like the look of that first one.
I wander if it's "submersible" rated. As it can/will end up with crap on it.

they do have steel lines form the factory, and then they rust, and 50% of your line ends up patched with rubber anyway (at least mine was lol).

ah, location. your location explains everything. See I basicaly have to make my truck "sea worthy" up here

How resistant to chafing is the first choice?

What do you use to crimp the ends?

I'm interested...

83-86 at least came with nylon lines. I bought SAE30R7 for mine. SAE30R10 is submersible rated, but that first one doesn't have a proper SAE rating for fuel hose so I'm not sure. I'm sure there are equivalency charts somewhere that will let you use the other rating systems to determine if it's submersible or not. I can tell you it's WAYYYYYYYYYYY cheaper than my submersible line. I only needed one foot, so I only bought one foot, and it was $15. That first one is a decent deal if it really is biodiesel resistant. SAE rating for biodiesel resistant interior is SAE30R9 according to Goodyear.

I dunno about rhe first link with how to crimp the ends. I was hoping its like the regular fuel hose that you slip ovwr a barb end and use a screw clamp to holdnit on. Thts whats im going for.
The push to lock is hoses are awesome but pricey


Thanks smokin, under $2 a foot i like.

But ut that one diesel fuel rated?

Yes, good for all gas, bio and diesel. Not submersible in gas, though.

If I ever redo mine, Barricade is what's going on there. Their website has been redone since I got mine, and I don't remember seeing that one.
