I recently (July 22) bought from Car Builder Solutions. FUHO6ET (6mm) and FUHO8ET (8mm). 1 metre of each was just about enough to replace all under the bonnet and in the boot.
As supplied to VW, Audi and BMW. Cohline hi-spec. rubber fuel hose. Cohline Type 2240 R9 Specification rubber fuel hose features FPM/ECO spec rubber making it 100% fuel proof, with Aramid braiding within the wall of the hose. Then ECO outer layer which is abrasion resistant.Can withstand petrol, E85 rated flexible fuel
However, I have just checked their website and the price has risen nearly 50% since I bought mine

Same here. Bought mine from car builder solutions a couple of years ago. Still good, no sign of any deterioration. DO NOT be tempted to buy fuel hose from eBay unless you know the company selling it and know it is genuine. There are lots of sellers on there, and elsewhere, selling any old fuel hose and claiming it is safe for E10. It's not and lasts 6 months if you are lucky. Been there got the t-shirt, which I used to mop up the leaking petrol
Now Stagless but have numerous car projects
So many cars, so little time!

The fuel line from pump banjo to filter can be changed for nylon / pvc.
the reliance on nitrile flexible hose is greatly reduced.
the heat soak into a metal pipe is also greatly reduced.
worthwhile considering.
nylon / pvc is lots cheaper than nitrile flexible fuel hose.Last edited by jbuckl; 22 September 2022, 04:54.
