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.

Is this 30r7 acceptable for SPICA injected vehicles (which are lower
pressure)?
Are we sure SPICA is lower pressure? I know a lot of the pressure comes
from the SPICA injection pump, but I'd look up or measure the pressure
upstream of the injection pump before assuming it's appreciably lower
than that of Bosch EFI. SAE 30R7 should be fine for carburetors,
though.
