I assume you are talking about your 1948 Chevy 3600 (goal Original restoration) Allan?
The only rubber hose used in the fuel line is the one connecting the fuel tank (bottom center)
to the hard line at the frame. And this was because the cab could float in it's relation to the frame.
The hard line at the frame continued up to the fuel pump with the last several feet being un-supported
to allow it some flexibility as the motor moved slightly when running.
From the fuel pump up to the carb or if it had a fuel filter installed, it was also a hard line clipped to
the engine at the upper water outlet.
I've had the flexible fuel line from the tank on my truck for a decade and have never had a problem
even though I've been running that dreaded, terrible, destructive Alcoholic regular gasoline in my
stock 1950, 216, 3604 ever since I became the caretaker of Old Blue in 2005.
