Those lines look to me like they're shrunk onto the fittings -- related to heat-shrinkable insulation? No one here has come up with a DIY solution so we're all buying from the dealer, AFAIK. They're not that expensive, I just ordered one for about $10, but I'd like to be able to reuse the fittings too. It would be environmentally friendlier and less expensive to boot.
At least they don't melt in biodiesel.
