Except perhaps for the injector pump to cylinder hoses (which are likely metal), any diesel fuel hose of the correct size will likely work fine.
A word of warning--these hoses are notorious for variations between the OD and ID so do not assume that if your hose is marked 5/16" on the outside that the inside diameter (ID) will match your fittings. Depending on your hose source, a 5/16" OD hose could have a variety of IDs--some wall thicknesses are greater than others but this number is often not noted on the outside of the hose. If the hose is going on barbed fittings, some to this can be made up by the hose clamps (double always IMHO). However, a thick-walled 5/16" hose may never go over a 1/4" barb fitting.

Yes, some bleeding on the supply side will probably be needed. The air tends to collect in the tops of filters.

The hose is coveted in some kind of sleeve that looks and geeks like fabric. They are permeating pretty badly and making the whole boat smell like diesel. I'm guessing there is more to replacing these houses than just swapping them out. Some bleeding? I see that 1/4 is stamped on the fitting. I'm sure that's identifying size.

Most rubber fuel hoses don’t use fittings, although I have seen some premade one that do use crimped on fittings. More information would be useful.

Should I buy pre made fuel lines or could I just buy fuel hose and fittings so I can cut to length? What word be a good source fir fuel lines?
