Default Fuel hose not the same on DX engine as on the ZC? Help...

Today I disconnected the fuel line that goes from the Fuel Filter to the Intake Manifold on my DX. It is very similar to the connection between a brake like and the caliper, goes on a bolt with a hole on it. However I was looking at my ZC's fuel rail and I noticed it is more like a hollow bolt with the hole in the end. I don't see my DX fuel line connecting to the ZC. What line can I use? Anything with MPFI?

You can use the Dx line if you take a die grinder or drill press and enlarge the opening on one side or find one off of an Si or Hf.

I will just use the Si one, do you think Honda stocks them? I imagine the rubber gets cruddy so maybe people buy them often enough.

Of course Honda will have them, but in stock is the question. I hate ordering oddball parts from Honda they take forever to come in.

Finally someone else has had this problem, I'm pretty sure I had the same problem you have. I just drilled a hole in the fuel rail. Works great.

The DX fuel line bolts right up to the fuel rail on an Si, or ZC intake. Been there, done that numerous times.
