Re: What precautions do I need for removing this fuel line?

I'm replacing both, it is the main line to pump that I'm concerned about.
The problem with the "good" braid covered hose:
It can look just fine and spew fuel out its side at the same time.
The braid provides some protection, but it hides things too.
You should probably consider replacing all the flex lines with multi-fuel hose.
(They make multi-fuel SAE R7 low pressure fuel hose, lots cheaper than EFI hose rated to 300 PSI)
The one under the tank should be > 12" long to allow the tank to pop up in a frontal crash w/o pulling the hose off.
(there is actually a proper length for that but I have slept since then, mine are ~18"ish long)
