I.e. if I have a carb'd fuel system running at 3psi and I know that I can get away with line rated at 3psi, why wouldn't I not use the highest possible quality line anyways since I was changing the line anyways?
The only reason I could see to use the cheaper line is to save $$$
but seriously, saving how much $$ for is worth safety in the fuel system? I am better off with the fuel injection hose even in a 3psi system because it is truly stronger and more reliable. Its the same for any other car part- yeah they sell cheap brakes, cheap plugs, cheap whatevers. But how much $$ is it worth the savings for a part that I only change once every 10-20 years?

what the fuck are you crying about? are you saying those stainless steel lines with hose clamps (what i've always considered to be knock off -6an lines for people who can't afford -6an and want the -6an "look") to be capable of 1000psi and ethanol compatible?
i've never looked into those "knock off -6an", so how bout you post links to actual discussions of this, instead of your blah blah hissy fit.
are you saying those "knock off -6an" lines are better than SAE J30R9 hoses?
