I've read about the Facet Dura-Lift and the Facet cheapy fuel pump here, but I see there is a Facet Goldflo that looks like the right specs, only thing that might not be good is it dosen't appear to have a back flow check valve.
I did a search and got zero results for Goldflo.

Also I have read about clear PVC fuel line, but locally I am told that Polyurethane is much better, and won't harden over time. Again, I did a search and found nothing.

Anyone have experiences with either to share?

Found the brand name for the fuel line is Superthane, did a search and did find three threads, but still surpisingly little!

Go to THIS SITE and take a look - max working temp is 175 degrees, not high enough for fuel line anywhere in the engine compartment. Max pressure is 135 psi which may be an issue as well. In the description of applications they do not mention fuel lines but it appears it is petroleum product resistant as it is recommended for hydraulic control systems.

Yeah I found that site.
I bought the Superthane Ester, not Pneumatic.
It is rated for 185 degrees.
The PVC on that site is rated at 175 like the Pneumatic.
I am going to go back and look at the Viton, thats the same material of the O-rings a member recommended to buy.

185 to my mind is still not high enough for engine bay temps. Coolant temps are higher that that one.

Yeah I get it, but the only other material I've seen mentioned on this site is PVC and it is rated for less temp than the Polyurethane.
Everyone talks about clear line and I'm trying to figure out if there is something other than these that is better, or rated for a higher temp.

Speaking of engine bay temps, dosen't that air filter take in hot air.

It can but when the truck is moving there is enough air in through the grill that it is not an issue. Others have actually installed temp sensors and tested and noted no or minimal intake temp increase with open element filter.
