Replace all of them in the engine compartment.

Replace every fuel line on the van (except the hard plastic from the pump
to the fire wall).
Get the whole stinking job done right the first time.
I've had drippy fuel lines behind the fuel pump and drippy lines behind
the fire wall behind the fuel regulator.
It's all old stuff and a clean sweep is the best policy.
As a leader of the Paranoid Maintenance Club I'd suggest that you also
replace all the vacuum lines in the engine bay as well.
All that looks well is not well ................ after replacing all the
vacuum lines you'll be surprised how much of that old hose was marginal
at best.
