Default rough running, fuel leak

Hi guys! It has been a while since I was here, been busy with getting a divorce...
Anyway, I was stopping yesterday to refill the sprinkler fluid, and noticed the car was running a bit rough, and also a terrible smell of jetfuel under the hood and I had a look around with a torch and saw fuel squirting from one of the fuel injection lines. I think it was number three, will check soon, about halfway along the line I think it is chafing from the plastic clips...
Will let you know more as soon as I get them off...

So replaced all fuel injection lines (I had an extra set)
Seems like on the ones that came off there is a clamp missing close to the fuelpump, so there was a lot of chafing on the tubes so please check your clamps.
1. clamp between pipes for cyl 5 and 6
2. clamp between pipes for cyl 1,2,3,4
3. clamp close to injection pump for all 6 pipes.

Oh and bleeding was a nightmare with cold engine and -5 degrees centigrade outside...

Just a tip...
