Another take on stale fuel. .. I'm looking to replace the fuel hose again on the R100RS. Only did it a couple of years back and it's already failing on one side where it pushes on to the pet cock. Last time I got some standard braided hose from Motorworks but I'm rather losing confidence. I'm looking for something which is resistant to rotting / ethanol, and I quite like the idea of blinging up further with stainless braided. So, any thoughts on material anyone? If I go for stainless braided do I need any special fittings or should it simply push fit as at present?
PS it's gravity feed to carbs so no pressure issues...

Fuel hose?

Re: Fuel hose?
I'd go for an oe type supplier "Gates" for example , use fuel line with a 3225- prefix ,

The 4324 prefix series Gates hose is externally braided but actually a lower spec than the above.
