From bitter experience on a 3dr, don't buy petrol hose off of fuel hose suppliers on eBay as they frigging disintegrate after less than 100 miles on super unleaded

From chatting to Merlin Motorsport they recommended to use this spec hose - which I've been running without issue for a number of years now :

Agree with this, I bought a few different lengths for spares and replaced a fuel hose on my RS Turbo just to keep it running and it perished within a month. Car hadn't moved and pissed fuel everywhere, luckily its not on the road

ideally you need to use teflon hose rather than the rubber stuff, it'll last much longer and you wont have the constant fuel smell
