Got a leaking fuel hose - it's the one that goes from the fuel filter towards the front of the car, and it's a cloth hose if you know what I mean... It's not really bad yet - but looking to get it sorted tomorrow.

Question is - What's the score with the cloth style hose, is it any different really than the normal kind or is it more reinforced or whatever? Can I replace it with a 'normal' fuel hose providing it's the same internal diameter?

I ask incase I can't get hold of the exact hose from the dealer quick enough, as I want to replace it asao as it's staining the driveway!
