I buy it from advanced fluid solutions (aka siicone hose world on ebay)

I've just ordered 2m as JK Australia are out of stock. First time in years that I have used eBay and things have changed. Postage really has gone up.

I really cannot see any benefit in using high pressure fuel hose which is not as flexible. I worry about damage to my nipples. I did see a comment once that is more resistant to abrasion. Really if it is installed correctly there should not be a problem. Unlike mine that the hose is rubbing on the CV joint.

Thank Tintop
His post made me search for it
His idea of using R9 is what I agree with
R6 (lower pressure)is also E10 tolerant but is more (much more) permeable which means fuel goes into the wall of the hose.
my recommendation (as is Tintop's) R9 is the way to go and have it through out my fuel system

Is there a retailer for the R9 in Australia, or is it import only ?
