Modern FI cars use a much higher pressure than ours. Any 5/`6" fuel line works 
fine for us. Our pressure is ~30psi; even the cheap hose is good for 50 psi. 
Modern cars run at 60psi or more.

Home Despot is fine. Buy 12 feet and replace just this hose, then drive home 
and replace everything in the engine compartment this weekend.
