   because that's what he wants?
   
   I go by his spec on the sheet then he pays me if I don't go by spec I don't get paid simple.
   
   Its for a 106 rallye s1.

   I'd check with him.
   
   I take it its just for in the engine bay??
   Be careful what you use as some fuel hose is ptfe lines, this is no good for a conventional fuel rail or metal return pipes as it won't clamp down properly with fuel clips

   When a customer says i want cat fuel hose. That's what he wants its got nothing to do with me if its the best or its shite if that's what he wants then he is right.

   and he said?
   
   surely, if he knows it exists, he knows where to get it. if its just something he likes the idea of (some weird cat fan), tell him its not available and can't be supplied. or am i missing something? i know you say if you dont do his spec he wont pay, but if something isn't available,

   Well searching for cat fuel hose doesn't bring up any worthwhile results in eBay or google!!
   
   
   To be honest I very much doubt CAT have there own spec fuel line, it will be made by someone like Goodyear to a certain specification

    Ha ha it just so happens i live 3 miles away from a cat dealership and never knew so going to nip up there now.
    
    I know it exists because i have see it on a few cars but never used it or had to find any before.
