Dennis,

The hose will have an SAE grade on it.  You have to find out what the rating
is according to this identification and determine if it is suitable.  The SAE
standards are generally available information.  The information I have for
SAE hose acceptable for gasoline is: SAE 30R3---3/16" - 500 PSI ; 1/4" - 400
PSI.  SAE 30R7 is rated at 50 PSI in those sizes.  Check it out yourself
before you use anything other than an authentic VW part.
