Just because it has a "braided" outer cover on it doesn't mean that it's pressure rated for fuel injection. Be sure to find out what pressure it can handle before you just assume that it's up to the task. It could be low-pressure rubber fuel line with a fancy braided cover for show. A burst fuel line could destroy your project in seconds -- not worth the risk just to save a few bucks, so check it out before you make a decision.
