I use short sections of the standard 7mm fuel injection line with the braided cloth jacket. I also put the appropriate size of shrink tubing over the ends to keep the braid from fraying, Then I use a couple of small nylon cable ties instead of hose clamps; they don't loosen like the screw-type hose clamps and are really easy to remove using a set of diagonal pliers. I have tried to pull a hose end off that I have connected this way and haven't been able to do so without removing both the tie wraps and the shrink tubing first. Good luck, Tim Barrett Willet <barrettw@NVENTURE.COM> wrote: About to replace all the fuel hoses and will be replacing the short hoses that run from the rail to the injectors. I've seen conflicting information out there about whether the new hose should be clamped onto the injector barb or just slipped on like it comes from the factory. What are the opinions on this? I will, of course, clamp the new hose to the rail. Thanks Barrett Willet '88 Wolfsburg
