The oe fuel lines aren't actually rubber they are plastic covered with a rubber hose protection.Where the fuel lines join the actual fuel rail there are no securing clips the plastic fuel hose is sort of shrunk/bonded on and is safe.On the end where the fuel rail hoses join the metal fuel lines there are some securing clips coloured red and white that are of a squeeze pull/push nature.Hope this helps.Regards Robbie.
