You can find another from a boneyard.
You can cut off the cracked part and flare it using a flaring tool and a tube nut and sleeve and replace the line with aluminum or braided tubing.
Is that the return or the feed line, I can't see?
If it's a return, you can use the slip on ferrule connectors to connect some aluminum or braided tubing.
I wouldn't use any thing like jb weld on it, but that's just me.

I had that problem... and that piece is about $450 new! I had my entire fuel system replaced... see my sig
I would go the route of replacing it, rather new or junk yard, you don't want to mess with gas!

Using JB weld would be okay gas wont eat it up, just remember to let it cure completely i think thats like 24 hours, and remember to clean the surface completely of all contaminants, i would go with the industrial grade, also look at PC-11 it's probbably a little better
