I changed out my thermostat, and in the process, damaged the fuel line that connects to the drain valve. Is this hose "special", like vitron (sp?) or can I just use regular fuel hose from the local parts store?

Its weird this would come up today, my truck is down right now b/c I had fuel leaking somewhere and come to find out the fuel return line had got on somthing hot and it melted a whole in the line, it wont take long to fix if we can just find a new line
