Not sure that piping would be imperious to fuels and chemicals that come mixed in fuels these days. Would be a huge tragedy if it broke down without your knowledge and cause some serious problems, fire, explosion and such... I 'd use USCG approved pipe and be safe. But that is just me...

Absolutely not, no way no how.
My boat uses that stuff for bilge pump hose and it's great with one exception, fuel and oil makes it brittle. When I pulled my engine and was removing my bilge hose it broke in my hands. You use that stuff and were going to be reading about you in the news:fear:, we don't want to do that:Cry:

Emphatically NO! That hose does NOT have the metal anti-static winding in it. It is dangerous to use even if it does not degrade under gasoline contact. Break down and spend to 20 bucks per foot for USCG approved filler hose. Safety has no price.

The only way you could use that is if you put the right hose inside the pvc tube.
