IML: Rubber fuel line question..

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been systematically replacing the rubber fuel line on my '82.  I 
understand that new formula hose is required to last with modern/oxygenated 
fuels.  I am wondering exactly what hose rating is required? I believe Dick 
B. said 309R or something like that which is efi hose going for 7.99 for 18" 
<gasp> Regular hose (I believe it is 307R) is $1.25 per foot.  I understand 
the car is injected, but the rear pump is low pressure so I am not sure if 
the injected hose is required prior to the control pump.  I don't want to 
skimp, but this is a cheap driver and I don't want to throw money at it 
unless I have to.

On a separate note: the NHRA specifies no more than 12" of rubber hose on 
any vehicle.  I did about that much (plus 12 hose clamps) just changing the 
fuel filters!  There has got to be a better way.
