diesel fuel hose???

Is the regular rubber fuel hose like you would buy at advance or auto zone ok to use with diesel. The short section of hose on the pressure inlet pipe that goes to my injection pump is leaking a little at one end. Figured i'd just replace the 6'' pc of pipe and both clamps while i'm at it.

As long as you are not using biodiesel, the fuel line is ok. There are issues with the rubber hose and bio, and newer compounds are coming out for that. Yeah, I'd change it. Remember, diesel is thicker than air, so if it is leaking diesel, it can also suck in air, or bleed down your injectors.
