Help with replacing fuel line Hey everyone, looks like I have a break in my fuel line. At first I thought I had an opti issue as the card died on the freeway weeks ago, but after firing up the car the other day, I noticed a big puddle of fuel under the car. I also noticed that my fuel pressure gauge wasn't at the usual 40psi, instead it was at around 20psi.
The leak seems to be in the line routed around my transmission. I checked the overall condition of my fuel line and saw some other visible cracks, especially around the line that comes out of my A1000.
Can someone help me out with the type of connector I need for my A1000, as well as the type of connector that plugs into my fuel rail? What size fuel line should I go with? Is it difficult to mate the connectors with the fuel line itself? I bought the car this way and am not too familiar with fuel systems. I can see where the line plugs into my fuel rail and it looks like a real pain to get my hand back there to unscrew the line. Any easy way of doing this besides dropping the entire motor?

Are you referring to this kit?

Will that plug in directly into my fittings that are on my A1000/fuel rail? How big is the hose in that kit? The site doesn't specify. Is it big enough to support my application? Or is it more geared towards stock/bolt-on cars? I'm making close to 600 at the wheels. I was looking to reusing my current fittings and just replacing the fuel line itself.
