I have found that fuel hose for a weed wacker or chainsaw will usually outlast the braided hose. I have had it on my 83 300SD for over 5 years and the 617.951 in my 53 F100 for over 3 years. The hose is still as flexible as the day I installed it. I know the purists will frown on this, but it is another viable option.
