Question about fitting clearance

I had some gas stolen a while back from my pickup and they sliced open the rubber fuel line leading to the fuel tank pretty good. Since I have smog coming up, replacement needs to happen soon, however new rubber pipe is crazy expensive at $40 for the two feet I need. I figured it would be a lot more cost effective to put a metal pipe in there. I just crawled around under there and the spout looks like it's made from 1.5" tube since it looks like it has a 1.9" OD, but it also has a ridge pressed in that's probably close to the 2" ID of the rubber line, so I need something thin enough to press a bead into. Are galvanized steel and Aluminum tubing o.k. for use w/ gas?
