I'm sure the OP meant to advise that the local hose supplier had provided fuel-rated hose, but it was worth a post just to make sure the OP is aware there are different grade of hose for different fluids.I always thought fuel line etc. hoses were somewhat specially made for the purpose material composition wise not to degrade due to exposure to quite nasty solvents (fuel) etc.
a standard hose might degrade fairly quick and be a ticking time bomb waiting to spray fuel all over your engine bay.
normally I would let this pass over my head , but if you think that I would have purchased one metre of standard hose for £8.40 then please think again, I would also have thought that the 8mm size would indicate that it was not normal hoseI always thought fuel line etc. hoses were somewhat specially made for the purpose material composition wise not to degrade due to exposure to quite nasty solvents (fuel) etc.
