I just received my order of braided nylon sleeving from
cableorganizer.com[1].  Initial impressions are very good.

I ordered the 1/2" sleeving and it fits perfectly over the fuel hose.
I'm hoping this will help me avoid a repeat of the "goo ooze"
nightmare[2] that occurred only weeks after I replaced my original
factory fuel hose.

Although I'm also using a better grade of hose this time, I wanted to
avoid re-using the original sleeves since a) they're now full of the
goo, and b) I think a more breathable sleeve will help avoid any chance
of a repeat by not trapping fuel vapors that might migrate through the
hose walls.  However I did not want to go without any kind of protection
for the fuel hose.

This sleeving was inexpensive (0.67 per foot, and they don't gouge you
on shipping either).

Once it's installed I'll post some follow up pics.
