Default regular fuel hose? (simple question)

hi all..
just found out that the fuelhose between the fuelpressure-regulator and the fuelrail has some cracks in the outside layer..



can someone confirm that this is just regular fuel hose (8 or 10mm?)?
just to be sure, so I can get myself a new piece of hose and replace it..

thanks
(it's for a saff cos by the way)

It will be replaced before I go for a drive, would be such a shame to see it go up in flames

Make sure you ask for the fuel injector type hose as a lot of factors sell the cheaper low pressure stuff
