Absolutely possible.  Just slice the hose at the injector with a sharp
exacto knife blade.  Cut up under the metal ring using the narrow pointed
end of the blade in order to reach the end of the hose which is protected by
that ring.  Then the hose will twist off and you will see that it is a
barbed fitting.  Just push the new piece of hose on and you are set.  Just
be sure to use the special high pressure 7mm hose.  You can clamp it if you
like, but the barbs hold it fine when you use the right kind of hose.

Subject: fuel injector hose

Hi all,
        The archives are down so I thought I'd query the collective wisdom
of the
real timers. Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the small length
of hose that fits directly on a fuel injector? This is a 1.9 digijet
system. I thought I saw posted, sometime ago, that this was a viable option
as opposed to buying new injectors. Thanks.
