Standard high pressure fuel line. 5/16" ID, and the OD does not matter. The guys at the parts store will (usually) know what you need.

Make sure you ask for hose for a fuel injection system. As RR88 says, high pressure. Otherwise you may get regular fuel line as I did in one occasion.

Hold on a second. You're wanting to replace the metal hardlines? Or the rubber hoses? Unless the hardlines are corroded/damaged, there's no need to replace them. New rubber hoses will do the trick.

The stock hardlines are 5/16" OD I believe, so if you scale up to 3/8" you might find the fuel pressure changes slightly. If you can find 5/16", use it.
