Totally agree.

I had purchased the hose, but have a memory like a sieve.  ;)  Thought
it was from my usual vendor, but he claimed he didn't sell the stuff.
They only sell the blue hose. This is black. Anyway....

Managed to find a length of new blue hose that I *know* is FI rated.

Now if only I could find the pieces of SS I had lying around..... ;)

Thanks people!

Neil.
