This is EMPI's stock-style braided fabric fuel hose: a fuel-resistant rubber core under a woven cloth cover, in the same 5mm inside diameter VW used on every carbureted air-cooled fuel system. It slides onto the factory tank outlet, steel line, fuel pump and carburetor nipples with the snug fit those fittings were designed for, and it gives your engine bay the correct original look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA side benefit of the cloth cover: a weeping connection shows up as a dark, wet spot on the fabric, so leaks are easy to spot during an inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice is per foot.
