Blown fuel line

[waglandbz]

Seeings how I'm quite a way from the nearest Ford dealer,,,,I'm looking at having to repair a busted fuel line between the in line fuel filter and the injectors. Its a 2002 F250 with 5.4 L engine. Can anybody tell me how much pressure this line has on it and can I get away with eliminating the pressure coupling and the flimsy hose that's pressure fitted on the injector line? I'm looking at slipping a 6 inch piece of rubber fuel line with some barrel clamps on it.

Fuel Pressure
Key on, engine off—5.4L and 6.8L Gasoline 240-310 kPa (35-45 psi)
Engine running—5.4L and 6.8L Gasoline 193-310 kPa (28-45 psi)

So what say yee oh Master Tech...or I mean "Blacksnapon".....Do you think cutting away the rotten hose and barrel clamping a piece of rubber hose will hold 45 + psi without pissing by or slipping off?

I guess another question is : Will it hold for the 11 days it'll take for me to get a replacement from the US?

Trying will beat the hell out of walking for a week plus. At least use 2 clamps on both ends.

I wasn't sure how much pressure there was.
