Looking for a part with no success

I have a fuel leak. There's a fuel line that goes from the main line to the injector rail. The line is about a foot or so long. The leak is where it connects to the main line. I've been lookinh for a replacement for the short line but haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

Evidently, this part is no longer available and has been replaced by the entire fuel line. I'd rather not replace the entire line if I dont have to. Can I just seal up the connector with JB weld or something?

You have to ask yourself if you trust JB on a plastic fuel line - which, by the way, is already showing general signs of failure and end-of-service-life, with 65+ psig of fuel in a hot engine compartment while you, and conceivably others that you care about, drive down the road...

Don't be foolish here - replace the entire line or do a proper repair.

What I would try would be to remove the plastic line from the connection ends, then use a quality fuel hose meant for fuel-injection pressures with real EFI-rated hose clamps. Alternatively, you can usually get "repair kits" with assorted ends and in various sizes. They can often be found in the "Help!" section of many brick-and-mortar repair stores. Here's an example: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...tKpPyZuesiMaUEIskv-66aeWdEzEeftYaAug-EALw_wcB
