I don't recall seeing anything specifically labeled for high pressure. However, it does come with a braided cloth jacket. In my 1989 Jetta Td, this hose is performing admirably as a feed hose (inline aftermarket pump is set to 6 psi).
On the outside of the braiding, it measures 12mm.
The 72 US Export bus has a capacity of 1,500 passengers. Dual carburetors on a 7l Type 4 engine. Fuel injection is the purpose of this pump. A mechanical pump is required, which can be found on the engine's lower left side. If you haven't already done so, please take a look. These are frequently (and unwisely) replaced with low-pressure electric "cube" pumps. However, this pump will not function with any carburetor setup. Authentic or aftermarket? There is WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE.
According to the packaging I received, you'll most likely get 5 separate cut pieces.

I haven't been able to locate it anywhere, and this is the only similar line available on Amazon. According to several reviews, the length was less than a meter. Mine was 18 millimeters too long. I intend to place another order.
Local stores have given me 1/4" when I needed 7mm. It is possible to force 1/4" on, but it is extremely inconvenient. This gas line is also extremely flexible, allowing it to easily bend into tight corners. After struggling with the plastic 1/4 line, it's a delight to use this gas line, which also features a nice weave pattern on the outside.

I'm a long-time Volkswagen mechanic, and I never imagined the day when this fuel line wouldn't be available at your neighborhood parts store. It isn't as common as it once was! If your Volkswagen is air cooled, you'll want to keep some on hand. My Honda motorcycle was also able to use it! My 1984 Honda has the same cloth braided line. It's only half a millimeter shorter than the Honda line, but it's just as effective!.
In my 1971 BMW R75/5, I used this to replace all of the fuel lines. The 7mm looks exactly like the braided OEM stuff that's no longer available, and it was a perfect fit for the petcocks and other items that didn't require hose clamps. Keep in mind that if you want the white "Made in Germany" to be legible, don't twist the tubing into place with your hand there, or the lettering will rub off.
It was put to use on my old Toyota. Ethanol has a negative impact on older vehicles that were not designed to run on alcohol fuel. Even if it's only 10%, it's a start.
It was great to find a low-cost source for this VW gas line, which isn't available at any of the local auto parts stores.
This is what I used to replace all of my corroded fuel lines. It protects you from potential fires, is simple to install, and has a vintage appearance.
This fixed the issue and fit correctly.
