Sandman,

You leave me asking lots of questions.

Seems like your hung up on the blue hose, that is just a color.

First, why? Is not the hose your using now made for fuel and fire retardant uscg app etc. Are you having problems?

What kind of fittings do you have on your hoses now. Are they hydraulic style metal ends of hose barb and clamp?

The kind of hose you posted is way overkill thus 12 bucks a foot. Your looking for hose from you fuel tanks to engine and a return. For the most part your not dealing with and significant pressure. USCG A1 hose for gas and diesel for your application should be three times cheaper than that per foot.

If you have metal crimper type ends or want to convert to that there is a Parker Hose place is Weymouth that can make them for you. You can also make your own with Aeroquip fittings which is a reusable multipiece fitting which makes it field serviceable. I use these quit a bit on hydraulics.

The way your original post is written it just really sounded like you don't know what you need, want or required to have and your going down a $$ road you don't need to go down.
