I have plenty of experience with steel and SAE fuel, oil etc hose.

I do not have experience with the new black Nylon fuel lines used on the more recent LT1 & LS motors and a lot of other more modern vehicles that some of us are borrowing drivetrains from.
I'm not finding a lot of information on an SAE spec so far but I'm sure one exists.
What do you folks know about it?
Tooling for termination?
What to look out for so you get the proper line and not some cheesy stuff that's going to melt from a year of fuel exposure or get brittle?
Is it so reliable that nobody has to mess with it? Or just too new?

I'll try to compile some information eventually. I'm interested in some input from folks that have worked with it.
