Pulled the fuel tank and had a nice surprise to find the the PO had installed extra long rubber fuel hose at the tank connections, so the tank come out very easily. The bad surprise was the type of hose that was used. On the side of the hose was printed - "Not for use with unleaded or gasohol fuels".

It is so sad that so much of the population is illiterate these days.
Very good catch on your part.
Here's what the hose looked like.

You saved yourself a lot of grief down the road. Did you smell gas in the front compartment?
I wonder how long ago that hose was replaced? Any chance it was before the time when all we could get is the sorry excuse for gasoline that is sold these days?
Scary.
Make sure to use the proper FI style clamps like the one on the left. Don't use the one on the right. My car had about 20 of the wrong ones, and at least half had started to cut thru the hose.
