Anyone using braided fuel lines?

[RodgerH]

I'm installing an in-tank electric fuel pump going to a bypass regulator mounted on the firewall with a return line going back to the tank. Both the supply and return lines will be -8.

I'm thinking about using either Russell ProFlex or ProClassic hose for both lines. The ProFlex has a SS outer braid and a CPE inner liner. The ProClassic has a nylon outer braid and a "extended synthetic rubber" liner.

I've read some discussion about fuel molecules permeating the hose and giving off a gasoline odor, but I think (hope?) with the relatively short distance (6 or 7ft. x 2 hoses) it won't be an issue.

Anyone out there running braided hose from the tank to the engine? What's been your experience? Any issues?
