SAE30R7 is now regular fuel line hose and as Rick says is coded on side.
Fuel injection hose for high pressure injection is SAE30R9.
In-tank hose is different yet cause the florocarbon liner of R9 protects
the hose from modern fuels. R7 or R9 is not suitable for in-tank where
over time the hose will decompose. SAE30R10 is for intank use.
I just went thru this and the problem is R10 is only sold to oem's but
Ron Gregory of Auto Performance Engineering has a great web site and also
sells R10 hose cheap who he got from an oem supplier.
