A few months ago my car sprung a massive leak right in the middle of a long length of Earls perform O flex -8 braided hose.
I couldn,t believe it since they were only about 5 years old as well



I think that is exactly what I have I think if that is the stainless steel(silver) hose and not that smoke colored hose. Worse yet mine is about 7 years old. That would really suck because I also have a fortune wrapped up in fittings and hose as I have a return style fuel system. Thanks for the heads up




Ya i had a return style system as well

The perform o flex hose i mentioned is in fact silver with a faint black spiral tracer line but from what i,ve read this problem isn,t isolated to only that certain line either .....it can affect just about any unlined hose. Which i guess is the reason even garden varetity parts store grade hose is now availible with an inner liner.

Gates / goodyear etc. R9 fuel line has a thin blue liner in the inner core. i.d suggest anyone replacing any rubber lines to use this instead of the older R7 rated line , although it is about $4 bucks a foot .
