The question is those: what it is possible to use for a line of low pressure? Except for :

yes, steel hose...
And there are alternatives? Here that I wish to learn... Especially very flexible...

My understanding is that the low-side line is not under much pressure in normal use but when you turn off the pressures equalise and hence the low side goes up a lot. Hence why you need strong flex line.

Most of those lines are for natural gas hookups and are rated for very low pressures, as is pointed out a lot:fact: .... but, the low rating is due mainly to the connectors, not the line itself. Try brazing 3/8" copper ends to it and test it at 300psi with nitrogen and I think you will find that the line is strong enough.;)

That may be the same one I have. But my ridges are less dense.

don't use that. You need something rated higher. Generally, steel corregated tube is rated around 80psi (without brade) and up around 1000psi with brade.
And brazed joints are always better.
I have also (but never used) a teflon hose braded w/ stainless steel with flare fittings...something like that would be better than what you have shown above..

I asked: THAT can be better than that that on a photo! Can hoses for refuelling? Or they lower gas? That is necessary to me that is not made of integral metal

You are doing a good job on english, but concintrate on grammer as it is more important then spelling the word right.
Your question is a bit hard to under stand, what you wish to learn?
Are you wishing to know:
The hose can be used to fill the system?
The hose be used as a DD flex line?
The hose bad for using?
What is a beter hose then the one in Photo?
It is frustrating I know, but keep at it, you'll get there and it will be worth the hassle :D Language is a hard to jump berrior but the wealth of knowledge on the other side is a reward in of its self
