Default Fuel Injection line leak

I have a 97 Electra Glide Classic. Today I noticed a gas leak. It's right at the coupling below the hex nut that goes in the tank. Does th entire fuel injection line need to be replaced or can I just replace the o'ring. I've researched were people have just replace the o'ring.

Here is a youtube video that I saw saying you can just replace the o'ring.

If the entire line need to be replace would I be able to just replace the part coming out of the gas tank with this (Spectre 5946 Fuel Fitting Fuel Fitting 90 Degree (Chrome) 3/8" NPT to 3/8" Barb, Spectre Limited Lifetime warranty - JCWhitney) and then connect the current injection line hose with some new hose?

Any help would be great

What have you got to lose? Try replacing the o ring first. After a tank R&R mine leaked at that fitting but one I pressured up the system it quit leaking and has been fine for thousands of miles since. Good luck.

Make SURE you get all of the old o-rings out. There is a
but I'd be hard pressed to pay for it for one use. I just replaced the entire fitting not long ago because the ball bearings weren't holding the line properly.

If you do replace the line and fitting (they come as one assy), note that there isn't a clamp in the package, you need to buy one or use a worm clamp for the regulator side of the hose.

May I ask where you purchased your entire fitting from?
