I have a fuel return line that has begun to leak. The return line goes from the front injector to the top banjo bolt on the primary fuel filter. Is there any special procedure to replacing this line. I have a replacement line that I got from Phil (E5000-103594 Fuel Hose) but since this line does not have any clamps I assume it is a tight fit. I read somewhere that you have to heat them in boiling water first and then push them on the barbed fittings and when they cool they will shrink fit. It that correct or is there a better way?

I have never had a problem just pushing the new return line over the fitting. I have had to cut a slit in the old line to get them off.

Yep, they just push on.

Put a little dab of fuel on it to lube it up before pushing it on. It will most likely slip on without it, but a little dab of fuel for lube can't hurt.
Make sure you route it the same way that the old one came off. I neglected to do that and wound up with a small hole from it rubbing.
I also had to slice the old one to get it off.

Cheers,
