Standard fuel hose is rated for a pressure of at least 50psi. Since 
our old Bosch D-Jetronic FI systems run at 28-30psi, they are fine 
with ordinary fuel hose.  

Modern FI systems run at pressures of 60-80psi and require better 
hose.  

Your FLAPS is likely to have both kinds available. You should just 
buy 5/16" ordinary fuel line. It works fine.  

If you discover that your leak is from near the filler pipe, that is a 
different problem, and you should check back here if yours leaks 
there.
