Too much expansion causes low fuel pressure at high rpm/boost.

i could possibly see that the rubber liner braided lines may suffer from some expansion at high pressure, but the teflon lined braided hose is resistant to expansion at pressures exceeding anything that fuel will be flowing at.

id only ever go teflon lined braided hose anyways, for a start it doesnt stink of fuel all the time lol
