Its 7mm fuel injection hose. I looked here in the Md/Va/DC area and none of the FLAPS carried it, they all tried to sell me some kind of cloth covered hose that was way too soft. The dealer wanted $20.00/meter. I also replaced the small hose (same stuff) supplying each injector. You need to cut it to lessen the grip it has on the injector to remove it completely from the barbed end of the injector. I mismeasured how much I needed and had to place 2 orders it took more than I expected. I would also replace the abrasion resistant coverings. Hope this helps.
