FI hose for P/S return?

Really lame question, especially for someone in this stage of their build...
I'm planning on the car making a trip around the block Sunday.
Am I safe to use FI hose for my return side of my power steering system? I didn't grab it off the 305 before I let it go!

Tran line will work and is cheaper. Return side is VERY low pressure

The return side of your powering steering doesn't have much psi....you'll be fine.
