Only reason I started replacing hoses was I went for a short drive to the shop the other day and finished shopping and started the car and started to drive off and could see a big trail of fuel in the rear view mirror. Parked up and found the bottom hose to the fuel filter had busted. Lucky I was near a car part store and was able to get a replacement hose and back on the road. But got me thinking I had owned that car for around 20 years and was all original fuel hoses so probably time to replace all of the fuel hoses. Was pretty lucky it went where it did.

I was just going to replace the fuel line and keep the stock one, but they do look pretty nice lol.

I think you guys are right. The only reason I thought it was a restrictor was I had seen the same yellow band on the r32 boost restrictor. Will just replace with a standard fuel hose. Thank you for your speedy replies. I'm sure I'll have many other silly questions.

I tried to search and couldn't find any previous thread. Sorry in advance if this has been talked about before. I'm in the process of replacing hoses on my R33 GTS25-T and came across the hose that runs to the fuel flow regulator(pretty sure that what it is??). The little thing above the fuel filter. It looks to have restrictors(yellow band on the hose). Do I need to replace this for a hose with restrictors? Will replacing with a hose with no restrictors have any positive on negative effects? Couldn't work out how to attach photos sorry.
