[DeTomaso] Gates Barricade Hose, possibly LPC

[Forest Goodhart]

FYI,
I purchased a foot long piece of fuel line marked for fuel injection/multifuel 
on the jacket from OReilys and it dissolved within minutes of contact with 
gasoline. The store did not seem to be concerned at all when I returned it for a 
refund and said that it was fuel injection hose and therefore could not be used 
in a carbureted application. They did refund my money but I pity the next 
purchaser.

Somewhere read of "Gates Barricade Hose", supposedly more resistant to modern 
fuels.  Asked about it at my local traditional parts house, there's a fuel 
injection grade and a carburetor grade. I bought 2 feet of the fuel injection 
grade for twelve bucks.  Figure the one two-inch length of pressurized rubber 
hose on the Pantera I can upgrade once it's time to replace.
 
Some concern the non-Barricade Gates hose is now marketed as "vapor and fuel 
return" ... not as pressure hose for even a carburetor, but I've got spools of 
that stuff in 1/4, 5/16ths and 3/8ths.
 
Maybe this has all been hased before....
