your best bet is to find a used fuel rail off a cafords member i think it is a dealer part, theyre pretty easy to find

ok thanks i just went to autozone and they gave me some rubber hose thats rated for fuel and up to 50lbs of pressure and some hose clamps i dont see why that wont work?? i would really prefer the proper hard plastic ones but they guranteed it should work?? they said my fuel system is 35-40lbs of pressure??

even if i was to find one there pushed on to a barbed fitting and pulling them off would be nearly impossible. i might just take my chances with this fuel rated rubber hose
