Steel braid, most likely, not familiar with "Starlite", is that a pushlok, or a crimped?. You can be assured if you call either company, it will be their hose, their fittings. The last fittings I got from Russell were from CHINA, and those will be the last fittings I get from Russell, I use Aeroquip..

You are right about the manufactors wanting their own fittings and I understand, but I already had the fittings and want to use the black hose from Areoquip, hense the question. Thanks for the response.

Look at the fittings' description and it should tell you what hose they are compatible with. Try to stay with like-brands. Earls with Earl's, Russel with Russel.. etc etc. I'd go with russell or Earls, personally. See what fittings Aerquip recommends with their hose.

-=EDIT=-
Holy shit-ass that's some expensive hose! 0_o I got Earl's ProLite 350, but I like the fire-proof cover. That would have been some nice insurance!!! Awesome features to that hose!

And it doesn't say. Found this:
Eaton’s Aeroquip® popular light-weight racing hose; up to 45% lighter than steel braided hose. Flame resistant Nomex cover with Kevlar®*. Aeroquip elastomer smooth bore inner tube, -45 to +300 F temperature rating. Approved with reusable and crimp fittings. Applications include fuel, lube, coolant, air. *Teflon® is a registered trademark of DuPont™

No that hose ONLY works with their fittings.
