I *assume* it would be carbon impregnated unless =9Cstatic induced pin
holes=9D are aviation-related and not a risk factor for automotive-rel

 the connection barbs.  Gates Barricade hose, available in the USA, is proba
bly the best available with the added benefit of being designed for low vapo
ur emission standards so you get far less fuel smell in the cockpit.
