Fuel leak

Saturday I had a fuel leak line coming outta the Filter setup on the engine that loops around and looks to go into the head behind/under the AC Compressor. It had evidently split before because it was already spliced together so for the time being i cut the split out and re spliced it.





what is the proper name of this hose so I can pick up a new one to fix it properly instead of the rigging that it is now. Thanks for any help

If youre replacing the one side, you might as well do the other side.

The threads in the heads are 1/8" pipe thread, but a new hose will go right on the fitting that is in there already. They are #4 JIC
