Default Anti-odour fuel lines

My car has a boot fuel system install (quite basic, but it is in the boot!), and I'm fed up now of the fuel smell coming from it.

There are no leaks, it's been this way for years before I bought it and although the fuel lines have recently been replaced it still honks.

Pretty sure I've read over the years of some company doing fuel lines which eliminate fuel smells... does anyone know what these are, who makes them and where I can get them from please?

Thank you,

Ben

Would more than likely be various sizes,
-6 would be fine for the main fuel lines, but the hoses to the pump/swirl pot may be bigger.

Think auto do one that is a plastic covered alloy tube like fire ex" stuff.
And it uses dash fittings aswell so should be straight replacement

What car ? What tank ? Does the tank vent externally ? And as others have said, PTFE lines are required if the fuel lines are routed through the cabin ( or solid metal type lines )

Any normal rubber types will stink.
