Fuel line disconnect leaking

I started smelling raw gas from the rear of my 92 the other day, looked under her and saw what appeared to be a leak from the top of the tank (33 gal tank).

I dropped the tank just enough to better see the pump/sender unit and had my wife turn on the ignition to start the pump. Gas started spewing from under the disconnect from the feed line.

Ugg! How does one replace the disconnect without having to replace the whole line all the way to the frame mounted fuel filter? I can't afford a whole new line!!

Ideas? Suggestions?

The leak must of been going on for awhile, as it completely melted the pigtail. It came off in little chunks. I found a replacement at Bronco Graveyard. (link below) What do I need to get to replace the disconnect though? Can this line be repaired?

you will either need a complete new line or find one in good working order from the wrecking yard. Probably should consider changing out the pump while your at it as well since your already in that far or close to it.
