We had a problem with this hose cracking and leaking after it was replaced
and was only one year old. Left a nice puddle at the gas station. And when
it leaks, it is very close to the headers. So we ended up replacing it with
a steel line joined with top quality short rubber fuel injection hoses.
Since then, we have added this steel line to the list of products we supply
and it has the bubble ends necessary to retain the rubber hoses. Selling
price is currently $25.00.
If one wants to make their own, the bubble ends can be produced with a
special aircraft tool (which translates into expensive tool at new price).
Think we bought it from Spencer Aircraft many years ago.
Definitely replace and/or keep a good eye on this line if you are still
running rubber!

Burt & Faye,
Do y'all include the couplers? If so, that's a no-brainer: No
hunting 1/2" J30R9 to buy for $5.00 per foot ($15.00 for the 3'
needed)!
