you need a new one, you can't fix that hose, manily because it's used for gasoline and it's special.

50$ though? I got a 2000 Si fuel hose for 23$ at honda..

You don't need a new one, just go to your local autoparts store and get a STRAIGHT through, barbed brass connector and hose clamp it in between the two halves of fuel line. Be sure to bring your fuel line with you, so you get the right size, you might also want to get some "fuel line" hose clamps, just tell the person at the autoparts store and they will know what you are doing. EASY!

Where is it cut? you could also just flare the end and install a fitting for a stainless steel hose. try Summit or http://www.chassisShop.com for the parts.

HondaAutomotive wont ship the fuel line or rear brake lines because they are too large. I know because I tried to oeder them. Also, its not the cost of the part per-se, its the fact that its a complete pain in the *** to replace it. Again, I know from experience. Project CX needded a new fuel line and brake lines because the old ones were so badly rusted. I hope I never have to do THAT job again.

The part in question is number 4. They shipped it to me, its just the line from the filter to the rail. It was cut from adding a fuel pressure gauge inline..... <sigh>
