darn, Jim - That sucks. Lousy way to find things when you finally get home. Fix em up and get those funky trucks Rollin.

I have noticed lately fuel hose appears to be cheaply foreign-made, also seems to rip before pulling off even when new. Tires, AC Delco parts, even the boy's apple juice(Kroger brand frozen concentrate) was made in China!!! Brian

I got a length a fuel hose in my hand I bought an Autozone a few months ago.Printed on the hose is SAE30R7, Made in USA. This hose is standard low presure gasoline and lube.If you're hose doesn't say this(not the hose between your legs)get some that does.
If it does say 30R7,let the rot begin grin

I just changed out my fuel hoses that had only a year on them because of cracks on the outside. It was the SAE30R7 fuel hose. We have the Chicago flavor lower-emission gas here, but since the cracks were on the outside and the liner was still intact, I wonder if it is ozone/heat related. I put the same stuff back on, but is there a better choice?

It is a plot Mighty Warrior and I have been hashing it over!!

Why don't you guys use braided stainless steel hose so when we have to go nuclear you are all set up.

I think it's the gasoline
Don't think the hose manufactures are keeping up with the changes in fuel

The only stuff that seems to really be good is the 'Push on' stuff on the 39 been there for atleast ten years

Make me worry about the FI hoses for the 12 port
