Exclamation Fuel return line problems!!!

Hey guys I have a 2000 7.3 and the return fuel line blew on me the other night on my way home from work. After dumping $40 worth of diesel all over the highway and paying to be trailered home, going thru hell getting it out, I can't seem to locate a part number for this. It connects at the back of the engine and goes to the filter on the front. I need your help locating this part or a mod for this application. Thanks in advance!!!

Is it leaking at a connection, hose, or line? Can you provide a picture?

How do I post a pic from my phone? Where the line is clamped to the head it rubbed a hole in the line from not being held tightly in place. It's in the actual line.

That would be the feed line from the filter housing to the head. The part number for the line is in David's link above, if you want to get one from a Ford dealer. Here is a thread that will help in replacing it. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...el-sleeve.html

I removed that clamp from mine long ago for this very reason (some here say you should not---but trouble free so far).
