Aeroquip hose. It's for airplanes. FAR higher standards than the automotive world. I'll be installing mine in the next few days.
FWIW, I had what seemed to be a fairly mild fire, and it wasn't until I pulled the engine that I found half of the damage...

I replaced all 3 of mine, and the date on the jumper was in 1985!
The hoses on my plane have bands around them with the hose assy # and the born on date. This would make replacement decision easier for future owners on these cars, if the hose shop has the capability.

Made mine, did a thread on them with BAT fittings, never looked back.
When you've put out a 928 fire at a gas station in the middle of BFE, CO, you learn a new respect for these lines.
Connect the new ones in the fender, not bay.

I bought a halon fire bottle and rennbay fuel hoses when I had the 944. I fortunately never had to use the bottle but they won't corrode like the dry chem ones will if I'm not mistaken.
