Looking for some rubber fuel hose but what should I get?? It seems hard to find hose that is of good quality... I was going to get some from halfords but read that modern fuel now has ethanol in that rots fuel lines

Then I saw Gates Barricade fuel use that's supposed to be ethanol proof but read a review that within a week someone's carb was blocked with rubber deposits coming away from the inside of the gates fuel line!!

What should I get

Thanks

I think the most up-to-date grade of fuel hose to deal with modern day fuels is SAE J30 R9 fuel hose

[Steve-O 2014]

Yea but apparently there's a lot of poor r9 hose going around

I got some injection from Halfords to use on the back going to the fuel filter and after a year it has started to split!

Halfords.. . cheap rubbish at over inflated prices

[Steve220]

Go to a local motor factors, it will be the right stuff at a much better price!

[Mini Manannán]

Or go to a boat chandlers where it'll be the right stuff at a HUGELY inflated price!

[Steve-O 2014]

Yea I read halfords stuff splits and local motor factors Stuff has also been failing

But I read that afs the eBay store linked to is supposed to be good

MiniBGT which fuel line did you order from them? The r9 stuff?

Thanks

[MiniBGT]

Yes, the R9.

I used some braided rubber fuel hose from Think Automotive - http://www.thinkauto.com/ has been fine for about 4 years now, it runs under the car hence using braided lines.
