    Default Fuel hose rating

    I'm going to plumb my EFI fuel system again for safety reason. currently my KE70 has a surge tank behind the driver side strut tower and an high pressure EFI fuel pump is mounted directly underneath the surge tank. btw, my KE70 is 3T-C turbo powered.
    i went to all the possible hydraulic hose shops. the only EFI flexible hose 6mm inner diameter (for 1/8" barbs fittings on my fuel rail) and its rated at 150psi. my question is does 150psi is within the safety margin in fuel system?
    base idling fuel pressure will be 30psi, add another 30psi if my target turbo boost pressure with a SARD 1:1 RRPR which will ended up around 70psi fuel rail pressure MAX. if i am using fuel hose rated 150psi, that is about 50% left as safety margin.
    how do you guys think?

    Dood. the 150psi rating of the hose is the rating at which the hose should be able to handle. The manufacturers already incorporate a safety factor. i.e. the bursting pressure of the hose would be much greater
