Fuel line replacements??

I've just spent the day removing my rear axle, fuel tank, and suspension for an overhall and found my fuel lines are badly coroded. one has a slight crack 8O i was wondering if i can replace the fuel lines running from the tank to the engine and the return lines with normal high pressure fuel line like this http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=FSEIH000
or do i need to buy a fuel line kit from crazy quiff the high pressure fuel lines ane a bit cheaper as im on a budget.

Thanks dunc

I couldn't find much detail, but basically you need to find out how much pressure it can cope with, and how much pressure the connections on either end can do, too.

I've found fuel hose that has a working pressure of 145 psi and 700psi burst pressure my haynes manual is in the garrage s o i can't check the exact pressure of the cis system but im sure this would cope its just the conections i would be worried about would jubile clips stand the high pressure sorry if this is a bit of a newb question :oops:

The working system pressure is around 6 bar, but I'd give a safety factor and say get 10 bar fittings. 1 bar = 14.7 psi, or so, so I think you'll be okay with either - so long as the fittings can be secured to cope with 10 bar (147psi) too.
