Thanks to Coby for the write-up on the how-to of the injector fuel hose R&R and all the others who shared their collective wisdom. While some suggested reusing the ring clamp, it seems prudent to replace it with a proper fuel line clamp. One other question while we're on the subject and have good people with their ears on: What else should be replaced while having the fuel system depressurized? I heard all pressure side fuel lines, which we've been preaching on the list for some time (with good cause). What about o-rings or clamps on the fuel rail, etc.? I understand this piece at the end of the rail can blow out (a few people have told me of this happening). I already replaced the vacuum line on my fuel pressure regulator because it was frayed and kinking. FWIW, I got my fuel line from the Bus Depot and the clamps from VanAgain. At the time, there was no do-it-all kit. Whichever vendor puts together a comprehensive fuel system overhaul kit could make a few bucks here.
