Is the power steering line anything special can a fuel line be used its not under pressure. I have a section of fuel line. Most pictures show it being held on with hose clamps.
 
Don't know for sure. The return line is normally 11/32". I think fuel line is 5/16" or 3/8". It is not that expensive for the correct hose.
 
I've had issues with other lines breaking down and turning spongy over time. Get proper P/S hose.
 
The return hose on my 66 New Yorker is 5/8". I got it from NAPA as it turned out it is a low pressure hydraulic hose made by Parker. You should use a hose made for hydraulic fluid other hoses will get soft and spongy over time.
