Broken fuel line on an '84

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Jim. Get a piece of the metal hose of the same diameter as the standard 
line. Then get two compression fittings. These fittings do not require 
flaring.

Just slide the screw on cover over the end of the line and place the 
(thingy) over the end.
Fit the center adapter and tighten. I used them on my car when the PO had 
cut the fuel lines. (What a dunce).

Want me to just "Run Over" and rescue you sweety?
