There are getting to be more and more choices for using braided hoses, but which ones to use?
I know for brakes I am still going to use -3 Stainless Steel braided teflon lined with steel fittings, but what about everything else? Fuel, Oil, Water, Power Steering, Gauges? And what about brands? Russell, Earls, Aeroquip, Spectre? You can get lost in the choices. I know some racing organizations dictate what type of hose may be used in critical places, such as drivers compartment, and fuel lines, but what about the rest?

Good question like this needs some discussion...... :idea:

I am also looking to replace my stainless steel braided -10 fuel line from the cell in the trunk, to the regulator. I would like to go with one of the "new" lighter lines/hoses, and I want something that will last more than five years. What is the best path to take?
TIA

As far as brands, you can't go wrong with earls or aeroquip.
As far as type for each application, get a catalog, for the brand you decide on and follow their recommendations. There is good technical information in the catalogs. Follow the assembly instructions
