Good question in fact.  the shop manual states that due to the unusually high 
fuel pressures possible under the K-Jet FI, one should only use the 
OEM-specified fuel lines.  using 1/4" fuel line with hose clamps is a recipe for 
disaster!!!!  Just another reason why you should buy the right part the first time 
from the many vendors we have.
