A lot of people that i know, including me use Hayes neoprene fuel line:

There are 2 quirks with the use of this line:
1. it needs to be approximately 1/4 inch shorter than the existing line. if not cut shorter, It will expand and potentially block off fuel flow if it gets trapped in the back of the fuel tank.
2. It will turn your fuel dark (black) for the first few tanks, but no worries about it.

It will remain flexible for a lot longer than silicone line will.

Thanks alot guys....that answers my question. The line in it now is very thin and weak looking. The OD is a lot smaller also.
