    Quality Rubber Fuel Hose

    I redid a couple of my rubber fuel lines last year when i changed my Fuel filter. Anyways, after only a year max they are already starting to crack. I used Fuel Injection hose from NAPA. I now have to replace them again and i want this to be the last time.

    So, Is there any high quality Fuel Injection Hose that wont crack after a year? Is there any ratings i should look for? And where would I find "quality" hose?

    Sorry, This sounds like im using Vac hose or washer hose, but Im not. Its these stupid things that get me irritated. This should not be an issue, NAPA if your listening.

    I went stainless Earls. I have some left over. Perfect lengths for anyone doing a twin entry rail and FPR.
    No build thread.

    I replaced my dad's BMW with fuel injection hoses from crap tire some years ago and they are still holding, I'm pretty sure they were made by Goodyear as labelled on the side of the hose.

    Hmm. Ill have to go to Can Tire in the morn to see what they stock. Ill probably see what Nissan has if I cant find quality hose. But I think Goodyear would be crack free after a couple years.

    That's correct, the line was in some generic green colour package but the hose itself has Goodyear stamped on it. You can also check with the local industrial hose suppliers like Greenline or go aftermarket like Bruizer said.

    I got the one's off the racks in those plastic packages labeled high pressure fuel injector hoses in relatively short length (one or two foot at the most?). Not all hoses have the Goodyear stamps as I still remembered, only that one i picked up and maybe two or three other packages? They might also switched supplier since this is quite a while back.
