Just Broke my Fuel line to the Fuel Filter....

Yup, f-cking a I have not sweared this much since, well I never have swore this much. I went to change my fuel filter. Simple task, have done it before, when all of a sudden, TWWIIIIST and the line starts leaking....oh ****. I put the gas cap back on just now and I am gonna see if that keeps it from leaking. Any other ideas and how much do u think its gonna cost to fix it? Thanks

You should be able to cut that part out and with a flare tool and some compression fittings, replace the cracked part.

If you're not that creative, you could very easily and cheaply pull the rear fuel line section out of a junkyard vehicle (make sure it's an FI car) and stick it into yours. I doubt a lot of those are snagged so you shouldn't have any "availability problems".

Good luck whichever route you take.

BTW, that's why you MUST use a backup wrench when you change the fuel filter. If you were using a backup wrench, then you were not holding it still. Sometimes you gotta stop for a second and remember just which wrench you're supposed to be turning.. hehe.
