Garden Hose for transfer of K1 Oil ?

 I need to transfer K1  kerosene from my delivery trailer to my tank  50 ft
away.   I have priced hoses made for fuels, and a 50 ft length is  $200-300.

Any reason why I cannot us a commercial grade,  3/4 inch hose like the one
shown in this link ?  This hose would be used  **only**  for this purpose,
and would be used no more than two times a year.

Any comments or advice would be welcome.

Thank you.

You need a polyurethane hose that can handle gasoline or oil. Available
at the big box stores in cut-to-length rolls.

 not sure if I could roll up a pvc line for storage when I am not using it...

the advice of a polyurathane hose is good, but I think  50 feet will be
quite expensive

So what is the inside of ordinary garden hose made of? Sheesh, I'll bet
that whatever it is, it's plenty resistant to petroleum products such as
what you're pumping (despite the possibility that it's "not approved"
for such use).

You could always try getting a sample piece of hose and soaking in
kerosine for a couple of days to see if it swells, dissolves or
degrades.
