Default need help with rusted leaking Fuel feed line !!

Car: 94 Accord coupe ex 2.2vtec
(picture of rusted line isnt of my car but the same situation but my fuel feed line is rusted there and to another 1/2 foot to the right)

seeing if anyone has fixed theirs and can describe the way you fixed yours?? mine just started dripping yesterday!! took off the access panel cover there and the fuel feed line is so rusted I cant believe its not leaking worse!! my fuel feed line is rusted from the area it connects to the high pressure line up to the area the lines come together in the plastic mount (about a foot). Also the high pressure line is questionable too of breaking if I was to go the high road and replace the entire line to the front or clamping a fuel injector hose to it. Dont have the $200 for the 2 lines and dont want to drop the tank at this point!! so im thinking of 5/16 fuel injector hose from the feed line where the rust stops to the pipe part of the high pressure line or if that part crumbles then cut off the metal part and put a brass fitting thats a double sided nipple fitting into the rubber of the high pressure and to the rubber fuel injector line and clamp everything of course!! sorry for the rant but I NEED HELP!! on deciding a good route to go so I was as descriptive as possible .... THANKS!!

idk alot about fuel delivery aside from injectors and pumps. but it looks like u could get replacement parts from autozone and replace all this stuff in a couple hours or if there isnt any regulators or valves just get fuel feed lines and replace all the rushed spots and then get seal everything up (sorry for the poor advice)

As TechLine would say, "Let us know how that goes".

so how about some advice?? was the sarcasm directed towards your opinion that I should only get all new lines from the dealer and spend 8 hours dropping the tank and replacing lines????

Well, to start, my advice is worth exactly what you've paid for it.

As far as your issue goes, those parts don't look serviceable. If I'm looking at a flare fitting on one end you can probably get away with getting a pipe-cutter and a flaring tool and make a new small section rather than replacing the entire line. I wouldn't trust a rubber hose and a hose clamp on a pressure line that can run upwards of 50psi.

You should probably be a bit thankful that people who spend all day working on cars even bother to take the time to read your post let alone try to help.
