Replacing a fuel pump which has two foot long pieces of hose that are submerged in gas. Are both the inside and outside of fuel injection hose rated for immersion in gasoline?

The 4219BF Barricade® Fuel Injection Hose is a low-permeation hose offering broad fuel compatibility including gasoline, ethanol blends, 100% methanol (no blends), diesel, biodiesel (including all blends of SME, RME or PME). It utilizes patented GreenShield® Barrier Technology to provide enhanced environmental protection and better fuel efficiency. It is compatible with any fuel injected application - cars, light trucks, UTVs, and small engines (1985 and newer) - where a barrier fuel hose is required. Not for in-tank or gaseous fuels.
$16 a foot and I need two. Compared to $2 a foot FI hose, its VERY expensive. Just the pump was $18 so what a shock. Any other brand that makes it?Its not very expensive and you can order it on Amazon.
Theres a reason its more epensive. Its your car, dont do it right and hope the fuel hose doesnt deteriorate and leave you stranded. So yousave $30 bucks using the wrong hose, have to pay a 100 dollar tow and then drop the tank and use the right hose the second time. Penny wise pound foolish. So to save $30 you're willing to risk being stranded and do the entire job again. That's forward thinking$16 a foot and I need two. Compared to $2 a foot FI hose, its VERY expensive.

Laughable. It's in the tank. If he uses the wrong hose, his engine stops.Improper repair will make you liable if anybody is killed or injured especially since he posted it on a public forum. Especialy now that he was warned about the cosequences and knowingly uses an improper part.
HAHA., I'd like to know where you got your law degree. I could just as well reuse the hose that's already there. Would I be liable then, Mr, Perry Mason?Improper repair will make you liable if anybody is killed or injured especially since he posted it on a public forum.

Did find this at a reasonable price. https://www.racetronix.biz/c/fuel-pump-installation-parts/fuel-feed-tubes-plastic/c649While I do agree on getting the proper hose I do think other options should be explored instead of just jumping to one correct product when there could be many correct products
