nylon fuel line

Does anyone know what kind of hose the hard nylon fuel lines are? When I ask the guys at the part store they don't even know about it and say all they have is rubber.

you might be able to get some of the hard nylon stuff from a dealer, otherwise just replace it with high pressure fuel injection line of the approprate size. Regular low pressure line holds about 20-50PSI (depending on size and manufacturer) the high pressure stuff is specially reenforced to handle up to 100 or more.

I want the hard nylon stuff because it's far superior to rubber. When I ask for high pressure fuel injection tubing all they offer is steel and rubber at the parts stores. They do sell a repair kit that comes with a foot or so of the tubing with a connector to splice onto your old line, but I want to renew the whole line. I can't believe nobody around here sells this stuff.
I asked the dealer but he doesn't know anything about anything if it's not listed.

So I'm going to buy it off the net, there's a few different places I just didn't want to wait for delivery. I figured I could walk into any parts store and find it but no way man.

No it didn't crack, I screwed it up myself and I'm too embarassed to talk about it right now. So yeah, I'm going to go to the wrecker and cut a piece of a wrecked truck. I would still like to know who makes the nylon tubing and all it's ratings.
