This rubber hose ok for TPI?

Does this seem like it would work for a TPI application? I was planning on using a short length of it by the fuel tank for flexability.
It's advertised as having a working pressure of 50 psi and a max pressure of 175 psi, but the actual wording states that it's meant to be used for carbureted vehicles. Also, it seems really cheap for what it is; I always thought that FI hose was pricey ($4-5/ft)

I'm not expert, but fuel injection hose (SAE J30R9) is more than just rated for high pressure. It's also less permeable than carburetor rated hose (SAE J30R7).
Just get real FI hose and sleep well at night.
