Fuel leak help

Thought I had a fuel leak at the connection to the sending unit. Wrong. Pinhole in metal line right in front of the connection, so if I ever want or need to take the line apart, I cannot patch the hole. If I do the disconnect tool will not go on.
Does anyone have a sending unit for the front tank, '95 350? If anyone has one they would part with, please pm with info. I am in desperate need to get the truck back together.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly , just cut off both ends of the connector & use a hose clamp(if you have enough hose )slide it over the pinhole ..

Not enough slack, but good idea. Guess I could splice a piece in. Made a temp patch out of short section of fuel hose,split, inserted over line at hole and put on a small clamp. I would still like to locate a sending unit, for that fact, I could use one for rear tank too. Both of those lines are rusted bad. PO did not clean under the truck and drove on a strip mine site regularly = lots of rust on everything.
