I think fuel line is rated correctly. Red rubber heater hose is not. Silicone tubing is good for it too, if you can find some, and it doesn't mind the exhaust heat either.

The lines run about $40-something apiece from Volvo. They come pre-bent and may be easier to do as a pair. This job is a LOT easier with the car elevated quite high, and the exhaust headpipe removed. (Remove 3 bolts at the big manifold flange, and drop the hangers to the rear.)

Also, be very careful when connecting the tubing fittings: properly aligned fittings spin on very easily. Misaligned fittings are very tough to screw down, and you can easily ruin either end. Be absolutely sure that it's threading on correctly before taking a wrench to it.
