The hose end they use are MIL-SPEC and are reusable. You can rebuild what you have with new hose of the same construction and ID. It does not have to be the same brand.

I called it stratoflex because I used to make hoses for the heavy truck industry with spin on fittings that were exactly like these. The hose I used to make were for oil lines and I had just never seen it used for fuel lines. I was concerned about how brittle the damaged line was although I'm sure it was due to being so close to the exhaust. I'm just trying to find out if it was a factory setup or not and if not, is it safe to use as fuel line.
