That would be a pretty expensive run of hose, tubing would be cheaper.

I took the cheap way out since nobody sees the fuel line anyways, used the Aeroquip 5/8" blue hose from my sump to just behind the firewall where it transitions to braided, saved about $400 doing it this way and the car cant tell the difference They're now making it in black also so it'll blend in better with the undercarriage. I'm not a car show type guy, so for me it just seems like a waste of good money for something nobody will ever see.
