Ben,
    Most people do more damage than good, when repairing
vehicles.  In your case bad parts are the problem, and your a
pro.   What is the likely hood that the job would not be done
right,  for other reasons?    I've seen all kinds of fuel leaks, but
never from hose failure.   I would rather risk a problem, than
risk having  unprofessional hands in there.

                              Joe.  w
