If it is rubber it is pretty much guaranteed to turn to mush in a couple of years. That is why guys are using PTFE for fuel hoses.

mine are earl fuel hoses. You can see the hose here on the loop from one fuel rail to the other. Used the same hose from the hardline to the fuel rail and hardline to the gas tank.

Unless it's Teflon I am pretty sure it will break down. Not trying to pee in your cornflakes, just being honest. There are a lot of threads and at least one magazine article about this.

Thanks ... for perspective I am using Ptfe from pump to the front... my Ptfe ends at a bulkhead connection close to the engine... so this length of hose will either be a few inches... from fitting to end of intake ....of a few feet from fitting to fender mounted bulkhead

Here is the hose I use for fuel. I don't care for the braided teflon hose.

The information is sparse on the website but it is made of Viton and engineered for E85 so the ethanol in gasoline will not break it down.
