Can I just pull the metal piece out of the connector, cut the end of the tube going back to the tank and reconnect them or should I get a whole new line?

EDIT: In case you cant see, the line closet to the pass. side connector twisted as I put pressure on the wrench to loosen it and twisted it enough to snap it and seal both ends.

Re: Ut oh
 

I would say your gonna have to get a whole new line.

Dorman might make a repair line that would help you.

If you know anyone who's any good at cutting and reflaring lines, you could probably salvage the existing line. As common as TBI cars are in the junkyards though, it'd probably be just as easy to get a good used line.

naw thats nornal... lol damn, did that on my truck w/ the fuel tank lines (replaced) ... I've seen people cut it and attach a series of new fittings then resize it to fit the tbi adapters or something?

Re: Ut oh
 

its tbi so its low pressure, no reason you couldnt just go to a junkyard, get the fitting with a certain amount of line, and use a compression fitting. Compression fittings are good to like 100 psi IIRC. Just dont put it on your brake lines.

Awesome guys, thanks for the replies. I will see what weekday I have off this week and do exactly that jno.

I was about to redo both the fuel and back-pressure with some braided, but that is unneeded at the moment.
