There are a lot of Teflon hoses that are not conductive.  There are a few ve
ry high quality hoses and others that are not so much.

We fabricate thousands of hoses annually for the experimental aircraft commu
nity.  If anyone has any questions on prefabricated hose assemblies or do it
 yourself lines, we will be happy to help you find a high quality product th
at fits your budget.

Take care and happy building

n the connection barbs.  Gates Barricade hose, available in the USA, is prob
ably the best available with the added benefit of being designed for low vap
our emission standards so you get far less fuel smell in the cockpit.
