There are 2 big ones, and a small one. One is the fuel return from the fuel rail, other fuel return from the regulator. Small one is a vacuum pipe from the inlet manifold. The braid is probably a gay overbraid styling thing.

	just replace it!!! disconnect the battery etc, dinny smoke..... have some thing to catch fuel coming out the pipes.... get a haynes manual - no doubt it will give a breif skirt through the std regulator

	any sites that can tell me how to put one in? im not really mechanically minded

	replace the hose with??? You mean replace the fuel regulator! You need a std fuel pressure regulator if you want to swap it out! I wouldnt adjust it without a pressure gauge..... too far either way and your car will run crap
