Question Fuel Line

Quick question, hopefully it's an easy one. Air in fuel lines, think I isolated it down to a deteriorated flexible line coming from the hard line from the tank (loops around once) and then goes to the mech. fuel pump in the front of the motor. Line can't be longer than 9-12 inches.
Asked my local diesel shop and they told me that I needed to get it from a hydraulic hose MFG (not that it needs to be the high PSI rate for hydraulic).
Just wondering if anyone knows if this is correct, it looks like standard fuel line, if so, what size is it, and where would be a good place to locate it (Napa etc?).

BTW, 1989 F350 DRW 7.3 107,000. Runs like a top.

My 86 has regular fuel line from NAPA in that location. A couple of small stainless steel hose clamps are all you need to finish the job.

Yeah, I use Napa gas hose there too. I even asked them to check to see if the hose was diesel rated. They looked it up and it said it was.
