Reuseable hose fitting question

[nealcj8]

I am trying to do the plumbing on my new buggy and I have some old hoses that came off of my jeep when I took it apart and they have the reuseable hose fittings from summit. My question is there a particular kind of hose I have to use, does it have to bee the braided hoses or can I just use regular rubber hose??

Any pressure lines should be braided. Other than that I would just use a high temp grade hose for anything else.

What about the fuel line? The line from the pump and filter/ regulator is braided but I was thinking about running regular 3/8 fuel line to feed the pump, it will just be head pressure from the fuel cell.

Yea that's fine but normally the regular rubber line tend to rot out really fast. Well for me it does anyway.
You can buy the high pressure fuel line in sections of like 4ft for 12 bucks. For me I would try to stay away from anything not rated for heat, even if not around a hot area. It just seems to last longer.

See if you can find some of the line with the cloth sleeve over it. A buddy if mine and I use it and have never had a issue. Like braided steel but just a poly/cloth sleeve instead.
