Need Help With a Fuel Return Leak

Okay so this has probably been covered already, I apologize. But I couldn't find anything on the internet so I joined this site to ask for help with my fuel return leak. I have a 1995 straight 6 F150, the front gas tank had rotted straps and the physical tank had a hole, so I took it out. I started it and discovered a fuel leak out of the old return line. Now I've tried everything up to putting a huge bolt in the end with 2 hose clamps and JB Weld. Is there a way I can either plug it properly, bypass the line, or run it to the rear tank? I appreciate the help and I apologize for this post being so long.

Some have machined two bolts to stick in the ends others have taken the lines from the old fuel pump hanger and cut them off and crimped and soldered the ends closed and snapped them back into the two fuel lines.

That is about it other then buying a new fuel tank and fuel module with hanger.
