Just a thought.
This is the common Fuel Hose; SAE 30R7 by GoodYear I buy at the local parts stores.
It is rated for: Leaded and unleaded gasoline, diesel fuel, gasoline blends of ethanol (E10), E-85 and sour gas.

The other commly sold Fuel Hose is made by Gates and has a similar rating.

This is the Fuel Injection Line SAE 30R9 that is said to be lined with Viton:
Rated for Fuel Injection Hose recommended for gasoline, ethanol, sour gas,diesel and Biodiesel fuels.
