2003 Toyota Echo, AT, 316,000 mi. Fuel Tube PN 23901-21060. This is a rubber line between two metal fuel pipes, but it has special fittings and clamps on each end. Can I just replace it with off-the-shelf fuel line if I can find the right diameter? I think the metal pipes are the same diameter on both ends but I haven't removed anything yet. https://autoparts.toyota.com/products/category/parts-engine-fuel-fuel-injection-system?series_name=ECHO&model_year=2003&page=2&model_year_code=2003%3A1416&grade=STD+4Dr.
Thanks for posting this. I had missed watching this show. And as I commented on YouTube, I did end up ordering the Toyota line and covers.
You are welcome.

Possibly, but for something critical like that if the OEM part is available why not just install that?
Just looking to save a little money. Like $130. But I guess it would be better and safer to order the OEM part.

What you have to think of is how much will a possible underhood fire cost you? I'm not familiar with the fuel injection setup on that car and it's certainly possible using injection hose and clamps would be a satisfactory workaround, but since the OEM part is available that's the safest route.
Shop around. There are quite a few sites selling OEM Toyota parts and you may be able to find a better price.
Okay, I will look around some more. Thank You!
