Fuel hose choice 120-130

I was happy when my beloved Duett started without complaint after a nearly 2 and one half year hiatus. Still on jack stands but ran fine, throttled up smoothly. I shut her down after 3-4 minutes or so; some work left to be done.

When I got out of the car to look things over I saw fuel leaking from (literally!) everywhere. Every end of every piece of rubber hose and the carburetor gaskets.

My twin SUs are back with Joe Curto now, getting a going over.

Needless to say, I'll replace all of the rubber hoses and fuel filter.

What is the best brand / correct size of hose? Given that I won't be needing miles of hose, money really isn't an object. I'd like the most fuel / alcohol resistant stuff there is. I looked on the ipd and FCP Euro sites and found surprisingly little useful information.

Many thanks for any suggestions.
