I replaced the rearmost sections of mine a few years ago, from the fuel pump area
back, since they rusted through. I was worried about pressure, and had a hydraulic
shop fabricate the hi press line from steel, and weld the original ends back on, as
they didn't have the right size. They gave me hydraulic hose for the return line, but I
recall seeing the rating as somewhat higher than the output spec of the pump, so it
could be possible to use hydraulic hose for both supply and return. Anyone know for
sure?
