Fuel Sender to main Pump Fuel Hose Replacement '88 245 200

Welp. I just replaced my filter, in-tank pump (pita), and the main pump as both were non-op and very well may have been seized.. I thought to replace the 12mm fuel hose upon pulling everything apart but in calling to the parts store (just one), they hadn't anything other than 3/8 or 5/16 injector rated fuel line.

I miraculously managed to get the 245 running. And she ran great! Only yet to find a mm size leak at the hanger hold @the DS rear bump stop.

I've called every parts house in a sixty mile radius (That's if they even bothered to answer their phone).
No 12mm injector fuel hose. No 7/16". Not even half inch.

I've scoured a fair bit online... I'm in BFE Arizona. Volvo Dealer is 80 miles away. It's 10-14 days to get any of this "specialty" fuel line.

Is injector rated fuel line even necessary here? Judging by the leak... that in-tank pump couldn't be pushing more than 5-8psi. Am I delusional to just run fuel hose and some split-loom over it?

TIA,

Dick
