Default fuel hoses, which type? are they specific? where?

I need the fuel hoses and filler hose for the fuel sending unit for my 1990 volvo 740 turbo as mine were very poor shape, I'd like to replace them. Are these volvo items or can I just go to Napa/autozone and get fuel hoses and cut to length. The filler hose (to fill the tank) is a strange S shaped one.

Thanks

MC

I have seen fuel hoses at your local auto parts that were rubber on the outside and had a plastic lining on the inside for higher psi.

Not sure if it matters as long as they are rated for fuel and fit. I'm from the old school of "Don't fix things that are NOT broke".

LOL!! Except as I unerstand it, he's asking about the fill hose and vent hose to the tank. No pressure involved. Not as if it's on the output of the inline tank.
