Infrequent fuel leak

It is leaking at the quick connect feeding the fuel rail (In coming fuel). Only leaks maybe once every week or two but enough for concern. My question is:
Are the clips a one time use or are they a part of the hose and must be replaced as a whole unit?

The clips are reuseable. I think there's an O ring in the hose that can be replaced. I'll go check the FSM.

Hey I had that same issue about a month ago; yea there is a small o-ring in there and mine was smashed up pretty bad causing a pool of gas on the manifold. I freaked when I saw it; I was not lookin for any engine fire to break out!

There are actually two o-rings in there.

Where did you get the O rings?

I want to know also. I could get some from a JY.

The only place I know of is to buy a replacement end for the fuel line (I know Oreilly's sells them, maybe Napa too?) and you can either replace the whole end section or rob the o-rings from the new end and just replace the o-rings. Replacing the end section usually involves warming a plastic fuel line and forcing it over a barbed fitting and it can get tricky.
