I need to replace the fuel lines on the coach & the local parts store has SAE 30R7 spec hose available. Is this hose ethanol resistant?

That's good. I've looked on the net at barrier hose & at $3-4 bucks /foot(or more), I was getting sticker shock. O'Reilly's Auto Parts down the street sells SAE 30R7 lo-pressure fuel hose in all sizes needed except for the fill "T" and ell for $1.29 /ft. + tax. Much easier to afford in the quantity required, and it's made in USA. AutoZone's hoses are about the same but their origin is questionable. Also, if this store don't have the amount needed, they'll go to another of the 5 or 6 stores within 20 miles & get what's needed. I'll get stainless steel clamps rated for submerged service at Lowes (water well grade).
For me, AutoZone is the stop of last resort. I usually buy from NAPA or O'Reilly's if they got what I need. They seem to care about the quality more than A.Z.

With all the issues caused by the ethanol in gasoline these days, perhaps using aluminum or steel fuel lines wherever possible may be a cheaper alternative. As long as it's properly mounted to avoid vibration or wear from rubbing against other surfaces, I think it should be more resistant to today's fuels.
