As above, if it ain't diesel specific it won't last long.

Proper cloth covered stuff is only a couple of quid/Mtr from good motor factors.

depends how old the stock is i had some a couple of years ago that was perished but at first site appeared ok new pipe as i thought but when fitted leaked badly .Get it from somwhere with a high turnover of pipe a diesel specialist for instance to be better able to get recently manufactured pipe.

try united diesels there prices are good delivery is quick and the pipe is good quality and you can order whatever length you want thay have a good website
