Default What Fuel hose for in-car?

What is the best braided fuel hose to run in-car?

I have heard that some cheaper brands allow fuel fumes through?

teflon inner I here is the way to go, also heard of CPE Inner but not sure what that is??

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Goodridge 811 sounds popular,

Does'nt the pro gold from Think need to use there own fittings?

Also who is the most reasonable supplier

With Goodridge 811, do you have to use their special fittings or can you use the Aeroquip fittings?

I use think for everything, the pro gold fittings were given to me though and I was later informed that they were VERY expensive so I've used a alloy fitting which is black and has a blue nut on it that Think supplied me.

Just speak to them and tell them what your after and they will be able to help you out.

The lined hose isn't Earls or Aeroquip, its a hydraulic style hose they do and its MUCH cheaper than the branded stuff, no idea on what it was called but they told introduced me to it.
