Fuel leak

[Luddite]

I have a leak in the short rubber hose that connects the metal line to the injector rail. One side has what looks like a flared fitting, and the other side has a fitting I've never seen before (no threaded components). The usual vendors don't list a replacement part. Can I just get a length of generic fuel hose and use clamps, or is there something specialized needed here?

That line just pushes onto a barbed fitting, with a metal "hat" over the end of the hose. Just cut off the hose (I used an Exacto knife to get under the hat). Use 8mm or 5/16 FUEL INJECTION hose, you can reuse the "hats" or better yet a FI clamp.

So the hose just pushes into the hat? It licks like the hat has been co
Pressed around the hose?

If you want to live up to your login name perhaps you can try bailing wire or some tree sap.

Hey - I bought a fiat. That's a good start!

Only if you chuck the engine and hitch it up to a couple of horses. You should limit the size of the horse team so you don't exceed the HP the frame was built to handle!
