Fuel rail leak

Fuel rail leak
I am in the middle of reworking the Plenum with a Highs Kit. I've lucked out so far with no broken bolts and have only the Temp Sensor break up, while diconnecting the wires on it. Seems the insulator was almost chalk from age...no big deal, however after pulling the fuel rails, I noticed it has a pinhole leak in the cross over fuel line on the rigt rail. .
Anyone know of the part number of this hose, or is it just best to order some Fuel Injection hose and clamp it down?.
Waht about injector O rings, best ones to use?

I've got just enough of the proper hose to help you out.. PM me.. Cost is shipping- paying it forward.
If you don't go this route, make certain and buy the proper rated hosing.. If you follow a link in a thread titled "my first impression of the air-gap" in the discussions forum, you will find the tubing you need.

The leak in the crossover hose suddenly showed up with no warning, and is spewing gasoline all over the engine compartment in the form of a heavy mist (that is a prescription for explosive disaster). Good thing it was in my driveway and not out on the road.

I just finished my airgap install last week and that hard black hose is a royal pain in the a$$ to get back on. After thirty minutes of boiling it and trying to force it on and then boiling it again and trying again I just said screw it and went and got some rubber fuel hose. It was just some regular fuel hose with two fuel injection hose clamps on either end (advance didn't have any fuel injection line at the time). Seems to be holding just fine with no leaks as far as I can tell. I'll continue to check periodically because I dont know if I trust it yet, but take it from me - use the rubber hose.

Yes, the leak is in the crossover tube, in a position that would seem to be just beyond the fitting coming out of the driver-side rail. As previously noted, I had no idea until I started hunting for parts that this thing is apparently a one-piece system, rather than two rails connected by a simple tube.
Yes, I think I need a crossover hose/tube; however, I'm beginning to realize that something that simple isn't an option?
