The other is the return fuel line back to the tank. Get rid of those crappy worm gear clamps ASAP and get the proper clamps for fuel injection plumbing - the spring OEM type or the T-bolt style band clamps that are rated for this. Ditto for the hose - you'll also want to check the hose to verify that it is rated for high pressure fuel injection systems, not the cheaper fuel line hose that you can use on carb cars.
THIS. I had an engine fire start from using the wrong type of clamp on fuel lines, I was fairly fortunate and noticed the problem before major damage was done.
