Epp,
The fuel line on my Terra was a kind of plastic. Because my EFI needs to 
have a return line, I put in a new steel line for supply and used the 
plastic line for the no pressure return.
That plastic line is tough stuff, but I suspect it makes you a little 
nervous to be using 20 year old plastic for gas. I've never heard of a 
problem with it, but that doesn't mean much.
