Poorman and JimBlake aren't the types to attack you.
I think they just want to warn you about the risk of not repairing the car properly. The fuel pressure is high in those lines. Add the corrosion. Also those lines are not far from the exhaust.
If you want to repair it properly, replace the entire line(s).

Well the underlying question I really was curious about was whether or not I could replace all 3 lines if I cut a access whole to the fuel pump or whether one of them would still be inaccessible.
In terms of splicing the lines I dont have any intention it would probably be more work then trying to fish them through openings. I would need more tools and it would be a pain to try and splice them in a safe place with clearances.
The brake lines I have that are spliced were done at a shop, Im not crazy about it but they are a double flared union joint which is the same as the other joints in the line.

I wasn't attacking, didn't mean for it to sound that way.
Cutting an access hole seems like that would work, for the connections in the rear. My 95 Integra had an access hole from the factory. But that Integra also had very close quarters between the steering rack & the firewall. It was more difficult to make the connections up at the front end.

I too didn't mean to sound that way, sorry if you felt that way.
The hard lines and the tank side "come together". Not sure what or where the issue is but IMO, again never done this, the hard line side would be a pain but the tank could stay in. Look at the online dealer sites and look at the tank vs the fuel pipe diagrams. I "think" the line can be replaced with the covers off and the tank in....now if #24/25 in the tank side is bad.......sorry. See if this helps explain...

There is a plastic cover around the gas tank that you should remove to inspect how the metal fuel lines are routed.
The best way to repair would be to drop the fuel tank and replace the entire lines. The lines that are bent properly from the Honda dealership are expensive. You can buy the straight fuel line and have it cut, bent, and flare to match the original fuel line.
