When removing and replacing the injectors, should you use new connectors and lines?

I'm sending my injectors off to be checked (I'm sure one is hung open). Should I buy new connector tubes and fuel rail lines?

You don't need new lines, but you will need 6 connecting tubes as per your previous pics.

No wouldn't waste the $ on lines except maybe #4 if it is the original one.
Replacing the crossover tubes is a 50/50 reccomendation based on who I talked to before doing mine. I reused mine but per your pics, I'd replace.
BTW if you're just buying new injectors, I had great service from TC diesel and they had the best price on Dragonfly 60hp sticks. Better than direct from Industrial.

I bought new connector tubes and the #4 line. My injectors are already on the way back from F1 One cracked nozzle, all of them were out of tolerance.
