not important at all. Actually, whats really cool is if you pull the line off and cut the line off the banjo fittings exposing the hose barbs, 5/16 rubber hose fits perfectly. All you need is a hose rated for the pressure, which is low, and some band style high pressure hose clamps.
I think the max pressure is 20-25psi, so look for some 50psi rated fuel hose, available in almost any parts store. should be printed on the side.
I have all 5/16 rubber hose in my van on the pressure side of the injection pump because I relocated the fuel filter
