Don't know if it's true, but I heard that genuine MB fuel hose is only necessary when using genuine MB diesel fuel.

Don’t particularly care about a star, I do care about a nearly 1mm ID difference.
Cloth braided 7mm hose is readily available but not a long-lasting choice. It seeps after some years even with very low miles. The proper dealer hose has worked for me for long periods. That’s reason enough to seek it out to order from a discounter like Pelican, if I had the PN.
