Rick,
Yes it is. Cut off old fuel line as close to the injector as possible, then
using a small knife or cutters, cut and pry out the remaining line.  Cut a
length of hose equal to orginal length and press it on tight.  I cut the
band off one before I saw the post on cutting out the old line.  The three I
did are on tight and have no drips after 3K miles.

Use the rubber covered, Like orginal, NOT the cloth covered, the metal band
will not hold the cloth covered.  The band is too large and the cloth
covered is too small to stay on under pressure.

Bus Depot had some orginal type.

Robert.
