I have a motronic system with lots of crimped fuel line connections that I'd like to replace. I really don't want to cut these off and replace with flaps hose clamps. It's my experience that the exposed ends start to get attacked by ozone in a hot engine bay and are good for a few years only. 'Course, I'm referring to these:

The questions are what and how. I poked around and found this doohickey which might do the job. Or not, I don't know. Crimping tool:

Or maybe there are other ways to get a high quality result. Anyone know? By the way, many of these lines incorporate metal tubes and brackets which are far too expensive to buy from Porsche or attempt to reproduce.
