There is no fuel line available for the pressure side of the fuel distributor, either, as I discovered a couple weeks ago when the TE sprang a leak. The fix is to get the correct type of hose (fuel injection line, rated at 80 psi in the case of the fuel line), force it over the barbs on the steel parts, and use some hose clamps to keep it on.

Seems these parts don't fail very often -- my friend Hans has never replaced that line on a 300E.
