Default Metal Fuel feed line broke!!!

has this happened to anyone other than me? the metal fuel feed line i am refferering to is the one on the fuel filter that goes to the fuel tank.
not the one with the banjo bolt, the one to the fuel tank. it broke about half and inch away from the bolt fitting. is it possible to fix it without buying a new metal feed pipe? help me out. thanks.

its hard but it can be patched with rubber hose. cutting the tubing sucks because there is gas in them but you need to make a clean cut so that its not pinched and then slide a rubber hose over it and use two clamps.

make sure you get fuel injection rubber tubing and not the cheap stuff. it has to be rated for fuel injection....not just "fuel line". Pep boys sells it for like $2.00+ a foot.

defn double hose clamp on each side.
