    Default Changing fuel reg. VS

    Hey guys, im stuck at the moment. Went to go do my fuel reg this morning and hit a wall. I dont want to break anything so i thought i might ask as i need my car for work tonight.
    The problem i can see is the hose "appears" to be stuck to the fuel pressure reg. Any ideas on how to remove it? Picture attached. There appears to be a plastic line inside of the rubber one that is pretty well attached to the barb.

    Cheers.

    Just put it in a vice and give it a pull mate. If the hose breaks it should still be long enough.
    If not just take her down to your local radiator joint, they should have some hose in stock.

    Cheers,
    Jake.

    "If not just take her down to your local radiator joint, they should have some hose in stock".

    Shouldn't it be fuel hoes not radiator hose?

    My local radiator joint stocks hoses for all applications.
    If a country radiator shop does that I see no reason why anyone else shouldn't.
