Default meth injection feed line?

Do I really need the AEM or Snow methanol injection 1/4 feed line? or is it the same as the pneumatic 1/4" air line with a different name stamped on the side? I will be running washer fluid through it.

1/4 hard nylon line on my kit with push-lock connections. No issues running mix or straight methanol for a few years and lots of street miles.

My snow kit has the plastic lines so I was worried about straight meth. But then I was thinking , they use plastic fuel lines all the time, so what's the difference?

Plastic lines with 100% methanol through mine. Pushed a full drum through without issues from the lines. These plastic lines don't react with alcohol so the only thing to check are look for dried out sections from age/heat exposure and verify connections don't leak. Other than that the pumps usually fail before lines due to seals leaking, especially if the pump isn't 100% methanol compatible.
