Fuel filler line/hose - what to use?

I'm running a race fuel cell in my boot, and will be fitting a fuel filler cap to one of my rear windows. I need to connect the two, so wondering what I can reasonably use as there seems to be a bit of a range (and price!)?

I have some 50mm alu tubing that I was going to use for most of it, I assume I cannot just use simple silicon joiners?

This stuff seems ok?

You are obviously not going to road register this, if you are you need to rethink the fuel hose in the cockpit area

If it is race only you may need to check on regulations regarding what quality etc they insist on - this has sone manufacturers marks on it but may not be up to specs
