I may be wrong, but for vehicle use, I thought the twin wall clear stuff, with a triangular braid in between the two walls was OK.

Nylon air line works really well.

Used it on the spill lines on the last two Discos.

... with the exception of the injector spill off pipes.

10mm is massive, for running bio. I have 8mm from tank to pump, and that seems to be plenty big enough for veg. Bio will be thinner.
And yeah, it's the spill offs that are going to get it first.
