says in the ad its application is in air and fuel?
could this be a suitable alternative to the steel lines??

Could be.

Thinkauto.com told me they could mould nylon lines to the exact shape of the factory ones - with the correct metal ends - provided they had a perfect set to copy,

I would be nervous to be responsible for such a choice, if there was an accident and they find you bought air hose for cheapness or whatever

Consider might E5 or E10 fuel weaken the material, could the ethanol degrade harden or soften it over time, will it one day burst and end life as we know it?

I think the best people to talk to will be cohpro.com

totally agree chopperoli
im not trying to go for cheapness im trying to go for reliability and ease of fitment.
unfortunately trying to find the correct pipe is harder than it looks

cheers tom
i did have a look but its just a faff getting steel lines back in without getting the car really high off the ground.
i just thought a plastic substitute would be an easier option.

i have a load of that at home my bro gave me but it has started to crack and perish internally allready

so i havent botherd with it.
i did look at the expensive stuff that you have to put propper coneections on but it was so expensie for all the fittings.
no worries i will keep looking about.
