Looking for engine bay fuel lines

Hi all
I am looking to update the 2 stock fuel lines in the engine bay of my 86 944 turbo. I know lindsayracing has a kit available but was looking for other options or maybe someone from carpokes that may sell the lines.
Also, I understand some of the braided models tend to release the smell of gas fumes when the car is parked…is this correct? I would like a model that does not release any fumes
Thanks
Mike

I'm a big fan of the
@Rennbay hoses. You can get them directly from Rennbay or from
@944online -- both great carpokes supporter! I had another vendor's braided set, which burst open in the wheel arch.
I like the rennbay kit because it has custom connectors that make them way less bulky than all the others...

Ditto on Rennbay - I ordered the long option so that I could route the lines to the firewall and then alon the fuel rail rather than pass directly over the exhaust header.

+1 on Rennbay hoses. You can also cut the band clamp on the lines to reveal a barb fitting, and replace with Cohline 2240 (100% ethanol proof), you can use smooth 'injection type' hose clamps.
Aviation grade fire sleeve is worthwhile to put on your lines, and to inspect them annually after it's been 3 years.
Also do NOT forget about replacing your injector seals (kits are $15 on ebay to get enough to do 8 injectors, incl. filter baskets), and the fuel rail jumper line (Genuine Porsche only).

I also used the rennbay option. standard size (didn't see the long option). One side was too short for the safe routing but I reused the big heat protection Rubbers for the line that still goes over the headers

Bought all the parts from BAT and built my own

Another vote for the Rennbay option. I bought them through 944online and plan to install today. Looks to be a quality kit. I also plan to use high heat sleeving over them. It can't hurt... unless it hides a fuel leak. Calculated risk

Thanks for the comments everyone!
By any chance, does anyone have an unused Rennbay kit they are selling with or without a fuel jumper line?
