Exclamation Fuel Line Issues...please help!!!

Hello everyone, this is my first post!
Well I have a 1997 F150 5.4 Liter V8, I had some guys working on it today. The fuel filter to be precise, I do not believe the man had the correct tools to do the job, I saw him twisting and pulling at the filter and it didn't seem right, but I continued to watch. Then he pulled out a pocket knife and cut it and said it was rotted, and sent me to purchase a new fuel line (he cut it before fuel filter) went to AutoZone and they seem confused and said the little piece I had with me was not from a fuel line because it was too small. Well the sold me a fine line for my make and model but when I returned to the guys doing my truck they told me it was the wrong part...! So Ii returned it got my money back. The guy doing my truck said the fuel line I need has a cloth like material covering the line. Do that sound right? Could someone please tell me what I need to fix this problem? Please and Thank you

First thing you need ... a " mechanic " that knows what they are doing ..... Your fuel line can be repaired . You need someone to look at the damage and get the proper parts . Your guys should know what to order , If they know what they are doing ..... Ford used some braid covered lines . You can repair with hose that does not have that .
