If you don't mind me asking. Why so you need to replace it?  And what did you use to replace it last?

I know of individuals using fuel injection line for the hole thing. 

The biggest worry that I can think of is that it could fail with road debri but then again the plastic could be pinch and fail to. 

IIRC my return line is all fuel injection hose. That is the side of the system that I did not replace as it had been done by the po before I took guardianship of my brick. 

Also I believe that there is a difference in pressure on that side. I think it was less then the line going to the injectors. 

Would recall like to hear what the masses have to say.

I need to replace that plastic fuel line for the second time in 3 years. The one that returns back to the tank.  Is this something I can swap out for the regular fuel injection line? Is there some reason it needs to be hard plastic? 

Anyway, if I have to use the same thing, let me know if there is a good source, otherwise let me know if there are replacement options.

My van is currently surrounded by ice and snow and immobile so when I go under there to replace it I’m hoping for a quick surgical replacement.....

Thanks,
Bryan
