Intake pipe off, throttle body off, upper inlet manifold off.



Then replace firewall to engine hoses and the hoses on the engine as well.



Look at the pulsation dampener (on the end of the fuel rail that points towards the back of the engine) cos they can leak too.



Have fun!

go to any automotive parts store and ask them how much fuel line costs per foot. Then buy about 4 foot of it. That should be plenty. Also buy a good razor blade/utility knife to cut it with. While your at it, buy some good hose clamps.

It is high pressure fuel hose for fuel only at high pressure alright?



Can't remember size. Take off one of the firewall to engine hoses and take it to your work...(if you actaully have proper fuel hose there?)

NO, it's not regular rubber hose.
