Fuel line leaking, need advince on what to replace with

the fuel lines are slowly leaking, and the break lines are right with them, corroded beyond belief
many people have told me rubber hose is the way to go, but there is something about rubber that makes me un-trusting
does anyone have any experience with rubber hose for fuel and such?
or should i go back to the pipe it came in?

Just cut the rusted section of line out, flare 37°, install -AN adaprers on the ends and you're good to put the new line on :thumb:
