There are some great deals on ebay at the moment on used Nascar hoses and fittings-the downside to doing it this way is that these shops generally use swaged fittings so if you need to change them you need to discard the fitting. 12 and 16 an stuff isn't cheap new.

I second the recomendation regarding the stainless stuff. If you've not worked with it before, its a pain to cut and put the fittings on. So long as the hose is relatively protected locations, the rubber stuff works great.

I sourced used 16an lightweight hose with a Nomex jacket from ebay for my project at about half of the cost of going new.

You'll also need metric to an adapters at the tank and engine-these aren't cheap either. Smart Racing and BAT have them, or you can have a local shop adapt a fitting to the existing line to match what you're using.
