<<IMHO, if you don't know what type hose to use, maybe you shouldn't be mak=
ing your own.>>

Awwww, c'mon now.  The list of what I didn't know when I started my Lancair=
 was enormous.  That's why I asked questions, read lots of books, talked to=
 a zillion vendors at Oshkosh, and read the LML almost every day.  Even the=
 FAA says homebuilding is all about education!

I agree, if you don't know what type of hose to use, you shouldn't make you=
r own until you find out!  Then, knock yourself out!  Although personally, =
I would have them professionally made *and pressure tested* rather than mak=
e my own.  Not that expensive and quite possibly better results on this cri=
tical component.

My answer -- use a Teflon-lined hose that is replaced "on condition" rather=
 than at a fixed interval such as ten years.  Firesleeve them, too, at leas=
t the ones in the engine bay.  And finally, only use steel fittings unless =
the complete line does not move.  (i.e. if both ends are attached to firewa=
ll-mounted components, aluminum fittings are okay, although you should prob=
ably be using a hard line there.  If the hose attaches to the engine, that =
moves, so use a steel line.  Aluminum fittings could break in this scenario=
.)
