Does anyone have a recommendation on a good brand of fuel hose? I'd prefer black nylon.

Summit Racing, Earl’s or Aeroquip are all great products. Just make sure it is fuel rated or you will get the dreaded fuel weeping smell.

Thx,

This is what I used:

Fragola 602026 Black One Size #6 Ptfe Hose W/Cover 20 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E5YNBG2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ILBiEbF6KVXKN

Used this to install the fittings:

I use and recommend Vibrant Performance brand fuel line products. Their product lines are easy to understand unlike some companies with a dozen or more names and types of hoses, where you could have a hard time understanding how one product compares to the next.

Reasonable pricing and common availability most anywhere. Looks great. I notice the nylon can catch on sharp edges and if allowed to rub it will fray. Sharp aluminum panels or nearby zip ties with sharp ends can pull at the nylon, but that’s going to be true of any brand. The stainless steel is directly under the nylon, so even if the cover wears completely away, it’s still a braided stainless hose underneath.

This is what I used - after I had installed hard lines and tore them all out! Easy to attach fittings. Easy to work with.
