fuel line has split

[pikey1986]

the fuel line which runs from my tank to the pump has split and i was wondering if i had to replace it with the same sort of pipe or could i use another type of hose with the same internal diameter?

It has to be fuel hose its literally pence to buy from a motor factors.
