Help! Need to fix plastic fuel lines.

[designie]

I am in the process, literally, of taking off the intake and valve covers to change plugs, wires and plug well seals. I moved the two plastic fuel lines and oops, one of them cracked. Then I noticed they had been routed around my new AC line and it had bent them both and they had a little kink. So when I moved it the kink became a crack.

Does anyone know how to fix these lines? They are the hard plastic, somewhat flexible ones just before the couplings, not far from the firewall. Can you cut them shorter and push one of the spring clip ends back into it, like a rubber line?

They are one piece from the tank to the engine, IIRC.

Yes, they indeed are. About $120 for the complete assembly.

I visited my favorite self service junkyard, clipped off the hose I needed about 12" back from the springlock, then used a splice kit from Advance Auto Parts to splice the replacement end onto the rest of the hose.

Total cost, about $5.00
