You want SAE J30R10 for in tank I believe (I only know a little about this though)

The issue is that normal fuel lines are designed to keep fuel in, and may not react well to fuel on the outer surface or to intermediate layers, which are usually some sort of weave for strength. With the whole line in the tank, both the outside and both end cuts are exposed.

And, as a followup, look at
http://www.gates.com/common/downloads/f ... psForm.pdf which says:
Finally, for submersible applications such as on the in-tank fuel pump, only SAE30R10 hose should be used, because when the hose fails, the pump will fail. Hose construction consists of low swell fluoroelastomer compounds in the tube and cover that resist gasoline and diesel fuel permeation and aging. Standard hoses have these fuel-resistant characteristics in the tube portion only.

napa should have 30R10 so bring it back for an exchange and tell him that it would have been another costly repair when your hose melted.

napa doesn't carry 1/2 diameter, confirmed....I will check vato zone and Oreilly later today
grr.... looks like 30r10 might only come in 5/8" which I don't think will solve the problem.
still looking

SUCCESS
OREILLY part FS216 is the perfect match for the lowest pump sock, $15 bux.

glad you found something, hooking up an extra fuel line to a sock didn't sound like the best idea

That's what?... like a 9 car garage...
I assume you already have the lift on order.
I guess the living quarters look to be bearable as well.
