Im having a fore return style system speced by KMS and was wondering which fuel hose you guys go with. He speced the LP flex. If anyone has that, have you had any issues with it? I read that it only lasts 5-7years? Does it just turn brittle or what? Thanks.

I used the Goodridge 811 and 910, does require the use of Goodridge fittings, but man it all went together so nice and that is reflected in the cost. Also, this hose has tightest bend radius i've seen. Prior to this I used Aeroquip back when the teflon SS braided came out. This was horrible to assemble.

I ordered the Fore kit with a -10 feed and -8 return but I wanted the black hose so I’m trying to sell mine. I don’t know what company Fore uses but it’s the PTFE hose. I’ll make you a good deal on them if those sizes will work with your setup.

The kit comes with 35’ if I remember correctly.

If you’re going to run deadhead, Order an extra 6’ on top of what the kit comes with.

Def get the PTFE.

I don't know why you'd do the flex LP hose or any of those rubber variants when it needs to be replaced every 5 to 7 years. Use PTFE and be done with it. Fore uses Eaton hose.
The rubber hoses deteriorate on the inside. I've had filters start clogging as it start disintegrating as well as fittings that started leaking. This was probably 20 years ago on a hot rod I never changed the hoses out. Once PTFE hit the market I never looked back.

PTFE for life! Plus with PTFE you have insurance against E85 when you go that route. Because we all will go that route if we have the chance lol. It will be one less thing to worry about. I had some Fragola lines that made my entire garage smell like a 1960's 76station. With these PTFE lines I have had zero smell issues. I ordered all my braided PTFE lines from FORE not too long ago, and after resizing and cutting and using a 90 connector here, then replacing it with a 45 there and blah blah blah. I should have just went with a premaid kit. It would have saved me time and money.
