Those hoses are much harder than standard rubber "radiator" type hoses.
They won't tighten down as well, and will be more prone to leak vapors.
This is the hose that's in the trunk, from the filler neck to the tank.
You don't want gas vapors filling the trunk of your car.. even a small
leak could cause the trunk to fill up with gas fumes... then you turn
your lights on and watch the rear end of your car explode...
