Default fuel hose

i need some fuel hose to re do my set up in the engine bay as the current stuff tha is around a year or so old has started to perish.

have had a look on ebay, am happy to keep the black rubber type, but there looks to be alot of different versions.

any better than the other? if so what do you recomend?

8mm (5/16'') around 2-3 meters i think would be enough

thanks
ian

Had to do that to stop it rubbing on things,most would have left it like it was but i brought some extra reinforced hose to make my own track and it doesn't rub now,don't like things that don't fit right and the pipe is viper performance 6 layered so probably stronger than the thin alloy one's there connected to lol.
