[quote] Fuel hoses info

The fuel supply system, from tank to fuel rail, is pressurized to 2.5bar
(eta) or 3.0bar/42psi (i engine) in normal operation. If there is a
clog the pressure can go as high as 150psi, even in the normally
low pressure fuel return system.

This pressure requires heavily reinforced fuel line. Most of the bulk
hose that you find at auto parts stores is only lightly reinforced and
is intended for gravity feed or low pressure fuel system (3-6psi). That
type of hose will quickly balloon and fail.
