you could use some sort of hardline....i think that would look better but places do sell "fuel hose" or whatever you want to call it.

When i did mine on my old yota i used a hard line for the pressure line with FUEL INJECTION rubber hose at both ends. Its a lot cheaper that way if you have the fuel injected motor because the fuel injection hose is super expensive. If yours is carbed then you wont need the high pressure stuff. For the other lines you can just use regular rubber fuel line.

If yours is carbed then you can just use regular fuel approved line. The high pressure stuff is for the EFI because of the high pressure that the fuel pump puts out. Just use the regular fuel line and you will be good. Use good hose clamps to.

I was sayin to use the hard line to save money. The fuel injection rubber hose is really expensive and will cost a lot to run all the way from the back to under the cab where it connects.
