Replacing plastic fuel line with rubber hose Ok, so I kinked my fuel line that goes from the module to the fuel filter in three places. So I decided to replace it with a 3/8 fuel line rubber hose (with the quick disconnect fittings on the end) till I can get the plastic line ordered.
Would that rubber hose collapse for any reason. Just curious, I am losing fuel pressure and I have replaced just about everything imaginable....Fuel pump (racetronix 255), FPR, Battery, Fuel filter, any advice would be great

The line is not the trouble area. The worm clamps holding it on the end fittings are not rated for the LSx pressure and risk blowing off. Personally, Id wait until the replacement line comes in vs a risky bandaid
Several people esp in the conversion forum have used them with success for many years, but it doesnt make it right
