Ha! Thought that subject line would get your interest.
Seriously, I emphatically agree w/ Mike: do -NOT- drive your car until you
replace that fuel line. PERIOD!!!!
I spent many years in the US Navy maintaining hydraulic and high pressure
air systems. One thing I learned is that there are many, many types of
rubber out there to meet various requirements. You do -NOT- want to use the
wrong hose in the wrong place since those places are usually related to our
safety, i.e. brakes and fuel systems.
Okay, okay, you can use a fuel line for the windshield wipers. <g>
Let's be safe out there.

MSC Industrial Supply sells 'Vitube' hose by the foot. I've used it and it
works well and is as good as the original tubing but slightly thinner.
Do not continue to use your car until you replace the tubes as gas does
nasty evil things to rubber not designed for the application.
