Fuel line splice

Is there anything I can use to splice together a fuel line?

I have a damaged fuel line that is leaking fuel and I want to do a temporary fix so I can get it to where it is going to be fixed.

I was thinking like a little rubber hose but I know fuel eats rubber. Anything I can use?

You can splice it with fuel-line/hose in low pressure apps, if high pressure, best to splice with flared metal line.

Rubber fuel line isn't effected by gasoline. It's neopreme. For high pressure steel line, if it's by the fuel filter, GM makes a kit that replaces the fittings and a small section of line.

730-4933 for $37.94
730-4929 for $24.66

Don't know which is what, but they used one of each to replace both ends on by fuel filter on my 85 Impala. The fittings were rusty and junk.
