Injector fuel return/supply line?

Specs:
M54A2, LDT-465 engine (non thick deck) etc etc

In doing my head gasket job on the M54A2 I managed to kink the plastic line running between two of the fuel injectors. It appears to be regular 1/4" plastic hose of some sort, anyone know what kind/where to buy it? I would use vinyl but I'm fairly certain it will not stand up to diesel fuel for long, and I'm not sure it's PEX either.

DOT approved air brake tubing will work fine with diesel fuel. That's what I have used.

I buy it from Fleet Products all the time! It is dirt cheap and they have all the pieces, remember there is an inner sleeve/tube(brass) that goes inside the tube before you put on the crush sleeve and nut

Yep, I'm used to those ferrules and such... basically the same ones that get used on icemaker plumbing, right?

I guess I will check P&S Trucks and Parts when I go there to see what they have in stock for 10 lug wheels and takeoff tires.

Thanks!
