Don't even consider the "good" German stuff. It's not good any more.
Buy regular US 5/16 fuel hose. Don't buy the special FI fuel line, as
it's much more expensive and is made for much higher pressures than
our cars have. If you can't find good stuff locally, I have it.

Good luck ;-)
You'll also need 20 feet of hose to do the entire job. Don't forget to
replace the short sections of hose at the injectors too. You'll need about 34
FI style clamps to do the entire job as well. I only mention this, because
whatever you don't replace, will probably be what starts to leak.
