I recall reading in my Spider SPICA manual that the pressure is maintained 
by the orifice/hose connector on the output side of the Spica pump 
(returning to the fuel tank) at about 6 or 7 PSI.  Just enough to ensure the 
fuel is delivered to the Pump without interuption.

That being said, I would think you could use just about any type of hose 
(fishtank airline and garden hose come to mind ;)... or at least the same 
hose intended for carbs.
