whats the proper and ideal way to join the blue car fuel line to rubber hose to rail and then from regulater to the return? mines well bodged atm jubilee clip style and think it may be causing loss of fuel pressure when its needed.

8mm hose will push on the end of the fuel filter perfectly, if you remove the plastic clippy bit first, and secure with a jubilee clip.

use 8mm push fit joints. I use them daily and never had 1 fail. most motorfactors will be able to supply them. dont have a pic to show you though.

Jubilee clips are fine.
Make sure there proper petrol pipe clips tho, and not the ones that cut into the pipe.
Just with the rubber pipe slid over the main plastic pipes, and then clamped on, will be fine.
