Low Pressure Fuel Lines
Low Pressure Fuel Lines
Fuel Lines: EFI systems use a different type of fuel line. Because of the higher pressures involved, you should never use low-pressure fuel line intended for carburetors. It WILL rupture and under 50PSI of fuel, a blown hose can make a nasty flamethrower if the leak were to catch fire.

High
High Pressure Fuel Lines and clamps
Most production automobiles use a plastic elastomer hose that is not effected by the environment and is harder to make leak. Some models use a special rubber hose that is rated at 250 to 300 PSI and special screw clamps. This hose is quite acceptable but should be checked often for deterioration and replaced if necessary. You should never stick the rubber hose over a bare tube end without some type of retaining barb. The high pressure and lubricating properties of the fuel will blow the hose right off the tubing.
