I've had the same "patch" on my car for two years
after a monkey lad clamped the hard plastic line and
broke it while changing the fuel filter.  If you get
the right fuel hose it should last for some time.  I'm
not planning on changing it especially now that I'm
running lower pressure with the EFI.  Maybe I will
*refresh* it next time I change my fuel filter.
