Braided steel fuel hose? - Page 2

I've had the same braided wire /PTFE teflon main fuel line on my Willys for 24 years.
Parker hose series 90 hose ends work great ,but all the fittings are steel..
as Bill said ,you cant bend it in too tight of a bend, but carefull planning and the correct bend on the fittings will make it work.
Any shop that makes hydraulic hoses usually has this stuff in stock.
I've run some pretty nasty fuels thru this hose and never had a problem.

I have been running the Earls teflon braided line since 2002. Probably just jinxed myself! They make a specific fitting for it though. Not sure if the other hose manufacturers require the same.
