Please help me identify this hose

Hey guys, as Im trying to undo the previous owner's hacks I came across this hose:



It leads to the driver side of the engine to this:



I want to replace it with the proper hose. Any of you have an idea of what the part number would be for this hose. Thanks in advance.

That looks like the fuel hose going into the fuel rail.

Thanks, you think #12 in this diagram?

It's the fuel supply hose from the pump. Normally it runs up to the right and along where the injectors are, then back through a hole in the inlet manifold. Can see the red hose in this pic, that's the same one.



The proper hose is just fuel hose.

Thanks, I guess I just need to route it better so it's not all over the valve cover.

Yeah. Im not even sure if you were to buy the exact hose if it would come molded. You can make the bend from the fuel rail back under pretty easily with normal fuel hose, so unless the exact hose is only $10 or something, id just buy some new fuel hose off the roll if the hose you already have is too short.

If you do buy new hose, make sure it is high pressure injector hose. Regular fuel hose is not rated for high pressure and will burst.

Yep, 5/16" FI rated hose will be as good as the OE part.

I replaced mine with this:

I suppose that a wide variety of fuel rated hoses will work. This one has the 90 degree bend in it which makes it fit under the intake manifold easily.

For this price, you can buy a 5 m roll from Blunt.
