Had fuel leaking from the top of the engine on my Hindu Ford (Farm Trac 35). Found a hole in the fuel return line behind the #3 injector. The line was made of some type of plastic but I replaced it with a section of 1/4 inch fuel line. Will this line work or do I need to try to find a piece of the plastic line? Parts for these tractors are somewhat hard to find and expensive. Nice utility tractor but not nearly as well built or reliable as AC. Got it from my BIL a few months before he passed away. Only has 153 hours on it.

On return line it should make no difference as long as the line is made for petroleum products . It only flows fuel back under low or no pressure .
