My kit came with 5/16 heater hose to use for the fuel system. I'm far from an expert but this doesn't seem like a great idea to me. Is anyone using the heater hose that comes with the kit for their fuel lines?

You are correct, heater hose is a bad idea for EFI fuel line.
The 5/16 heater is for a revision in the last update. You need to run the bleed port of the radiator back to the coolant fill tank on the engine. See attached snap shot out of the manual.

Wow I'm glad I asked. My packing list for that box (box 5 in this case) reads "80564 Flexible Fuel Line 5/16" ID High Pressure" 11ft, but it contains 11 feet of 5/16 heater hose.

I just had the same confusion. I spent the entire evening pondering this and other inconsistencies. For anyone that comes across this issue, the actual fuel line was in BOX THREE.
