Probably wouldnt do it right away, but with the ethanol in gas these days it tends to break down rubber hose and would do it from the inside.

Use the FI hose it will save you the hassle and money of redoing it again with the normal rubber hose.

I was kind of figuring that. What is everyone using for hard fuel line? It seems that all they have at my local box stores is steel, like brake lines. Will that work, or should I be looking for something else?

I used the steel lines that the auto parts stores call brake line. Not sure why they call it that, never seen a car with a 3/8 brake line!
