broken fuel line

I have 1997 R.V, with a V-10 I have a fuel leak in the flex line that goes from frame to engine. Do I have to replace all fuel or can that be spiced? Thank you, Bill Thom

You can repair a plastic line, there are repair kits available for them, or you can take a piece of brake line the same size, slightly flare the ends, and securely clamp it in place.

Who sells the repair kits? I need flex lines for my Bronco (89 351).

BEWARE EFI uses 32psi plus on fuel lines so low pressure repairs will not safely work on EFI fuel lines.

I saw the rack of repair kits by application and size at the local Autozone last week.
