I had the same problem when I had to replace my outriggers which the hose passes through. had to cut the pipe and then afterwards used some new rubber fuel hose to connect both ends back together with a piece of brake pipe inserted into the original pipe ends to prevent it collapsing when I tightened the clips on the new rubber hose

There are proper high pressure fittings available for these pipes.

Hi,
Can you use these barbed fittings to join the pipe after you've cut it?

I would imagine that they would be able to withstand the pressure, as the banjos in the fuel line are also barbed.
