Default Broken fuel line

I finally got around to doing some maintence on my dd which is a 92 civic dx, i was replacing the fuel filter and while doing that i managed to pinch and crack the line from the tank right at the end of the fitting that goes to the filter.. does anyone know how i could fix this? or am i going to have to buy a completely new line with the fitting on the end that goes into the filter?

Your best bet would probably be to replace that part of the line.

I have no knoledge with fuel lines but everything else so i would like to do it myself... it was to dark for me to try and trace the line from outside the engine bay, but is it one continuous line? or is it in sections? could i just cut it at the crack and get a new fitting?
