Has anyone found a supplier of good quality long lasting 8mm fuel injection hose?
I just noticed the expensive specal stuff I bought a year ago for my range rover from a local factors is cracking already.

I had the same issue, ending up buying Cohline hose from Merlin Motorsport.

There's been a lot of dodgy fuel hose on the market in recent years. It seems that some unscrupulous Chinese factories were just stamping up any old hose as R9, and legitimate UK suppliers were buying it in and selling it in good faith as rated fuel hose.
I don't know if the situation has been resolved and the rogue fuel hose weeded out of the market. Just a heads-up to be cautious and only go to a reputable supplier. Under-bonnet fires aren't fun.

Depends on the supplier - there’s been some Chinese copy Gates hose floating around. Apparently easy to spot if you know as it’s supposedly a spec of hose they don’t actually do..

Thanks guys,
ordered the mocal stuff from demon tweeks, poor quality rubber is one of the biggest problems with old cars now, the bushes in our minor are already cracking, and it has not even been out of the garage yet !
