SAE 30R7 has a working pressure of 50 PSI and a burst pressure somewhere above that. Fuel injector hose (SAE 30R9) has a working pressure of somewhere around 100-150 PSI and a burst pressure well over that. SAE 30R10, according to Gates, can be fully submersed in gasoline and other fuels without suffering damage (it's also very expensive and hard to find).

Same thing happened to me. The guy swore up and down that hose he sold me was fine for a transmission cooler. The next day while I was driving it leaked fluid all over the god damn place. I definitely read what hoses says before using them now.
