I've searched the forums and haven't found an answer for what I need.

In moving my fuel rail up and out of the way, one of the black fuel lines kinked and I'm afraid its going to start leaking. I have been searching for some alternative fuel line options, and I like the look of braided steel but all the ones I'm finding say they're not for fuel injection systems. I just need to replace the sections that go from the supply lines at the firewall to the rail. Any suggestions?

A minor kink isn't anything to worry about, the lines are pretty resilient.

I can sell you a replacement if you want, but I wouldn't waste my time unless it was obviously leaking.

You can also use a Fuel Injection hose from the parts store and fuel injection clamps. Might have to take the originals in to match size and length. SS braided is ok but the rubber one will clamp on to the feed are return lines better and not leak in the future.
