Forum;

...the nice gentlemen at the shop offered to locate a fuel leak and did: Pinhole in pressurized (rubber) feedline from pump, so they offered to replace it...I told them it MUST be high pressure type...knowing that normal, low pressure line is not suitable for the fuelrail pressure...they had to go and get some line off the reel from the parts store...when he came back, he said he asked for high pressure type, but I didn't see any markings on it confirming it was high pressure type, and hose felt (too) soft to the touch (I was able to squeeze it just about shut)...this just doesn't feel right to me...I'm leary...last time I got high pressure hose from the reel, it was just about impossible to squeeze at all...I believe the hose they put on there is still low pressure type hose which WILL fail under the fuelrail pressure...

Question to the experienced: Is it possible that there is high pressure suitable hose that can be squeezed to nothing like that, or does this pretty much confirm that its low pressure suitable hose only, which needs to be replaced?

TIA for opinions
