The real problem is getting the correct hose. That short hose is
actually a different design similar a Parker "Push Lock" hose. The
reinforcement is would to act like a Chinese hand cuff. Under pressure,
it actually tightens around the barbs on the fitting. If using a regular
hose and clamps, be careful not to over tighten the clamps as those
barbs can cut the hose from the inside.

Subject: Replacing Fuel Injector hose-

About to replace all the fuel hoses and will be replacing the short
hoses that run from the rail to the injectors.
I've seen conflicting information out there about whether the new hose
should be clamped onto the injector barb or just slipped on like it
comes from the factory.
What are the opinions on this?
I will, of course, clamp the new hose to the rail.

Thanks
