Fubared the fuel line - now what?

[subtlt]

Changed the fuel filter this morning. Let it soak with WD40 for a few hours, then removed. Snag is, the fuel line (from tank to filter) twisted along with the flare nut about 45 degrees. installed new filter, pressurized, and a pinhole leak in the fuel line just before the filter. :-(

This is my daily driver. Any suggestions on what to do for a short term fix till I find a replacement fuel line or?

I was thinking JB weld?

Please reply direct to falconhob@telus.net

Thanks!

This is what i did i had a leak in mine also i cut the line back a little and used a 3\8 high pressure rubber fuel line and used 4 hose clamps 2 at one end and 2 at the other end that is to make sure it doesn't come off good luck

Soak them daily for 3 -4 days with your favorite penetrating oil spray.

Use a flare wrench on them and make sure you hold both ends.

Light tapping may also help but don't use too big of a hammer.
