OT: Suggestions for Hose Supplier?

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

No I haven't but at the cost it was to replace the entire fuel line on
my old '84 Scirocco I vowed to go with stainless steel braided fuel
lines if I ever needed to repair any of it.  I do know some who have
run entire lines front and back for Autocross with a fuel cell mounted
in the spare tire well.
