This is a snubber hose, a grease gun hose. Make sure that there is at least a 90* bend in it to reduce the bouncing(water hammer). Name: snubberhose.jpg

The snubber is used to isolate the fuel pressure sending sensor from the violent 'water hammer' of the VP 44. This saves the sensor, it also reduces the bouncing of the needle.
