I normally use hard line & aeroquip also but from a safety standpoint  I'll 
also offer something else to consider when it comes to fuel system  plumbing, 
especially the engine bay. 
Anybody that has had a screwdriver or wrench try to arc weld itself to an  
Aeroquip hose will understand why I normally DON'T use Aeroquip anywhere in  a 
fuel system when there's a chance that it could get tangled up with electrics  
in any way, be it the slip of a wrench into a hot lug, stray wiring or  
uninsulated terminal, or a crash.
Although lacking in the "cool" factor, marine-grade fabric reinforced hose  
is great stuff.

BTDT 1 time, nasty sparks & a (pinhole) fuel leak, fortunately no fire,  
lesson learned...
 

I plan to use a  steel braided line. Any thoughts as to the safest  
installation?
