I'm not trying to bust you on this, but can you provide a link?

I'm skeptical because I can understand a marine application needing a flex section between tank line and pump, but why between pump and carb? It makes no intuitive sense to me, anyway.

Between the vessel and pump I can see. Or if the pump isn't attached to the engine, then ok.
