Important! GATES Rubber Fuel Line! Read!

[sixty8HDC30]

This seems like one of those scenarios where back in the day I'm betting all GATES fuel line was the "submersible" type. Now they have found ways to cut costs with modern manufacturing and engineering and probably many good lawyers, to be able to sell a variety of fuel lines for various applications instead of a single quality fuel line that can be used over many different applications.

Once upon a time, fuel line was fuel was fuel line. Now its fuel line is fuel line but you better read the fine print.

This is not a quality "problem" this is by design.
