That's what I've used and my BTDT tells me different, I've got 3 or 4
mends on the 5KS, the oldest one going on at least 6 years and never a
problem.  As long as it's fuel hose, and not vacuum or oil line.  Don't
need the solid fuel injection hose clamps either, just the "German" ones,
that aren't slotted, but have the teeth raised on the band.  Even if you
have no options except the 'merican serrated clamps, you'll usually clamp
the line far enough up the line that it won't make much difference if it
cuts into the rubber a bit.  

Also, a little bit of silicone is good to have handy to help push the
hose onto the fuel line.
