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.

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.
