This is the most recent in a few I've found on cars. On my '83 SD I was replacing the hand primer for the new style and found the short hose from the secondary filter to the housing stamped "NOT FOR FUEL". I wonder just how long that was on there before i found it.

That might be the low psi gates fuel hose. Lots of it says "not for fuel injection" printed on the side as its under 50psi rating.

I have the same stuff all over my cars since none of them are high pressure delivery systems, i need to go check if I cut one out just like that, would be funny to see.
