Found this on Amazon. Figured I'd use it in replacement of rubber line from pump to filter to end of dual feed....I plant to go back plastic filter since I learned glass can break....Good idea ???? Suggestions??? What else might I need???

I,d stick to a good quality rubber. Didn,t Gregski have trouble with Amazon braided hose.

The braiding doesn't do squat for the cheap rubber inside of it when using cheap parts.

There is a reason quality braided fuel line is expensive. It requires a high quality hose initially & then the added protection of the SS braiding on top.

Standard, current, fuel injection spec or diesel spec rubber hose works better vs standard cheap/generic 3/8" fuel hose w/o the expense or hassle of the braided cover.
