I just read about this hose in my old British car catalog .As I am getting some slight gas fumes in the cockpit when I open the door of my Kitfox, this sounds like a good replacement for the fuel hose that I have been using AND if I end up using Ethanol, It can handle that.

Low Permeation Barricade Hose Prevents Fuel Vapor Loss While Delivering Peak Fuel Efficiency
DENVER, CO - Oct. 27, 2009 ā Gates Corporation today launched Barricadeā¢ fuel hose, an innovative new hose that saves gas and protects the environment. The low-permeation Barricadeā¢ Hose prevents fuel vapor loss while delivering peak fuel efficiency. Itās designed for virtually any engine application thatās equipped with a conventional carburetor, including cars, trucks, ATVās, tractors, and lawn and garden equipment.
āBarricadeā¢ hose is the lowest permeation, multi-fuel compatible hose on the market today,ā said Senior Product Manager Richard Mirtz. āOur patent-pending Greenshieldā¢ Barrier Technology allows Barricadeā¢ to exceed stringent California Air Resource Board (CARB), EPA and other state and federal requirements, making it the most environmentally responsible fuel line hose in the industry. Plus, with an average annual fuel savings of approximately one gallon per vehicle, Barricadeā¢ hose can dramatically reduce the amount of gasoline consumed by U.S. motorists.ā
Hydrocarbon vapors escape or permeate into the atmosphere through the body of fuel line hoses as gasoline or diesel fuel is conveyed through the system from the fuel tank to the engine. Gates built-in Five-layer Greenshieldā¢ Barrier Technology enables Barricadeā¢ Hose to achieve five times less fuel vapor permeation (1gr/m2) and fuel waste than conventional hoses. In addition, unlike standard fuel line hoses, Barricadeā¢ hose can accommodate more fuel types, including Gasohol, Diesel, Bio-Diesel, Ethanol, Gasoline and Methanol.
Gates Barricadeā¢ Fuel Line Hose is available at local parts stores throughout the United States.

I have been plagued with this problem through two Kitfoxes and have spent way too much money on various high-dollar fuel lines with no significant improvement. I have a "sniffer" that always pins it down to the fuel lines so I know that is where the fumes are coming from. Not real strong, but enough that it is noticeable when I get in the airplane.
If the advertising is legit, those hoses should work. Please give us a report on how it goes.
