How tell if fuel hose was used?

Was driving today an hour from home and started smelling gas. So stopped at a local shop as I was worried.

Sure enough could see a puddle forming as one of the lines under the car had rotted.

They said the entire line would need replacing eventually because it all looked to have some corrosion but they could repair the leaking part for now for $60 so I agreed.

Started reading up on how these lines can be replaced and discovered there's a difference between a regular rubber hose and a fuel rubber hose.

Now I'm worried that they used just a regular hose as I see regular clamps used.

Anyway to tell? Here's a quick picture I took on side of the road. Can't get under there to look for any writings at the moment

Hard metal fuel lines not rubber fuel hoses run beneath the car.
Yes but they repaired the leak by running a hose. Curious if they used real fuel rubber line or not

Is it safe to use compression fittings on fuel system?
