These can be replaced , they are not as prone to leakage as the plastic fuel
tee fitting on the firewall and other fuel lines.
If you carefully grind off the crimp at the injector end.
once removed the hose can be removed from the barb on the end of the
injector and replaced with new.
Use the smooth clamps volks cafe sells to keep the fuel line from being
damaged by the serrated clamps.
Do not overtighten rubber fuel line clamps as that causes premature wear of
the hose.
firmly snug not tight.
