Fixed a similar pinhole leak in the 5KS by cutting out the offending
section and putting in a piece of rubber fuel line with some hose clamps
(used  good 6mm head fuel line clamps).  This was quite a while ago, and
no more leaks since, I think it's a "design feature" of this particular
section of fuel line.
