Yes 5/16" ID Fuel Hose from the Auto Part Chain Store is also rated for Diesel Fuel.

When I was working on my Rear Cross Member I had to detach the Fuel Tubing to the Tank from the Cross Member Clamp and move it out of the way so it would not get burned by the Welding.

I evidently bent the tubing a little and developed a Pin Hole in a rusted area under one of the Clamps.

The rubber under the Clamps was mussy so it may have acutally been leaking before but the Rubber sealed it.

You might want to remove the Clamps and check under the Rubber to see if the Lines like mine are rusted under the rubber.
