You don't have a carburetor and I seriously doubt squirrels chewed through a steel line. What are the symptoms? The only place the fuel lines are rubber is from the steel lines to the engine, so the engine can rock on its rubber mounts, and between the steel lines and the gas tank. These are only a few feet long. Just replace any leaking sections, not the entire lines. You must use fuel injection hose. Your fuel system can have around 50 pounds of pressure. Carbureted cars from the 1970s had a small vacuum in the line from the tank to the fuel pump, and less than 5 psi in the line after the pump. Rubber fuel hose for that application will not withstand the pressures found in fuel injected cars.
