rubber fuel line

man I cant tell you how many times ive had to replace fuel lines on my truck(s) over the years.. the stuff they sell in the parts store just DOESNT last... the feed & return lines that go between tanks & the selector valve, and a little peice of line that I have connecting the fuel pump to the carb (only a couple of inches long) always seem to crack and rot (and leak)... ive used goodyear hose, stuff from the GM parts counter, and everything from the parts stores and its all pretty crappy in the long run... well this time I had had enough.. this truck doesnt get driven a whole lot, and I think that has something to do with the accelerated rotting of the hose.. but I picked up this blue rubber line from earls, its called super-stock and lemme tell you the stuff is awesome.. Never again will I use that cheap crap from autozone or kragens. dropping the tanks and replumbing all that stuff aint the hardest thing in the world but its not something you wanna do yearly either... I wish I would have known about this stuff before.. just thought Id let you guys know of a good product I found & recommend...

Braided Stainless line reminds me of the cheap 80's hose covers that everybody used.
