I'm using it from my tank to the filter, from the filter to the pump, and from the pump to the hard line. Maybe 10" in total. Works fine. Had it 2 years w/ no issues.

Go stay in a holiday inn. I have run similar stuff from front to rear and ALWAYS passed tech... why??? Because it's an approved line mr. know it all. Grab a rule book and read it for once before you step on ground you know nothing about! There's a list of approved non- steel braided hoses and this one was on it last I checked, along with Jegs style of this hose as well. Let me help you...

It's a synthetic rubber compound with additional woven material. Want to use summits description as gospel, be my guest. Not the first time their descriptions have been off base.

The reason summit says It's not recommended as fuel line is that they had too many people complain that their garage smells like fuel with that line....for almost the same price you can get braided Aeroquip stainless teflon line that will last forever. Check out www.aeroquip.cc. -8 is $3.50 ft in bulk....$4.00 ft in exact lengths. It won't smell up your garage either. Last edited by Quicksilver440; 02/14/13 09:28 PM.

Said it was NHRA approved, and at the time it was supposed to be "safe for fuel use"...Jegs version was not however, hence why I ordered the summit stuff. Fast forward a couple months later and there was a post on the bullet about it saying not for fuel use...I didn't want to take any chances, and had to argue with summit to get it returned since according to them the warning was always there (when it wasn't or I sure as hell would not have bought it). I have read that the Jegs not for fuel use line leaks like crazy, and if the summit stuff is following suit with not being good for fuel, I wouldn't chance it and have to spend the money twice. I ended up using Fragola push lok hose, and haven't had a problem with any of it Just my

I bought some of the Parker Fragola 8600, and some of the Summit Twist Tight. The Summit fittings are nice, but the hose feels pretty crappy next to the Parker. The Parker stuff has a nice sturdy feel, where the Summit feels a little like heater hose. I am only running it from sump to pump, then from reg to carb. Running stainless hardline to the front.
