Exclamation was bound to happen sometime

was detailing my 1985 SD today got under the hood and noticed one of the fuel return lines was leaking slightly. I have been running biodiesel so i expected this to happen eventually. What hose do i need to be using? The PO said he changed some hose to vitton for biodiesel but i am just going to replace them all. I can't seem to find vitton hose fore the return lines though. Any help? are there any rubber hoses that may be hiding other than the ones under the hood?

Get the hose from your local MB dealer, its made from Viton. I paid 15 bucks per meter. You only need one meter.
