Default Specifics for replacing Comptech fuel line

If I'm reading my manual correctly the fittings on the Comptech fuel lines are -8 AN fittings. I had the classic gas smell by the RRFPR and then it stopped for months until late last week. The scent was very strong, strong enough to shut the car back off and check it out where everything looked dry. I want to replace the line obviously but I'd rather take it off to replace as opposed to pulling it off to check out for which parts to buy. Does anyone know what I should buy to replace this line?

I'm bumping this in hopes that someone can give me an idea of what needs to be bought to replace this line. In looking through the Comptech literature it seems like its a -6 hose as opposed to -8 but is there a specific type thats needed? Can I reuse the AN fittings on the bad hose or do I need to buy replacements of those as well and if so any ideas on which ones?

The line in the car now looks shot, its dry rotted and I dont even want to dive the car until this is replaced but my searching is getting me nowhere.

Okay I got this done and figured maybe this will be of some help to someone in the future. When pushing the fittings into the line make sure to use some sort of lube or you'll pop a vein before getting it over the second barb.

Here's what I had bought
