"Injection" fuel hose has a thin flexible layer (or "lacquering") of
fluoro-elastomer on the bore, which provides exceptional resistance both to
'sour' petrol and to some of the nastier additives in unleaded Mogas. Hence
its terrible cost.
Any hose compliant to SAEJ30 R9 should have this.
Thinking aloud, this hose would probably be less permeable to fuel VAPOUR
and smell less on the exterior.
