Fuel rail line

95 f150 with a 5.8. Found a small leak in the rail lines, replacing it with 5/16 rubber fuel line. Does this set up look like it will work?

As long as the new fuel hose is actually for EFI and has the interior liner it should be fine, but regular hose clamps are not. There are different style ones designed for higher pressure and I would use them.

sounds good, i gotta feeling my hose is probably too weak then. I picked up some fuel line hose at napa, its rated at 50 PSI. Guess i wasnt accounting for a case of a failed FPR, that would be a bad. and i figured the clamps would do a good enough job. But Ill keep the same routing/ style of the hoses with some stronger line and better clamps . I Appreciate the input

They also make high pressure fuel line (factory on some Chryslers)
That has a teflon inner liner (lasts about forever)
What you have done should last several years
