How to do a quick fuel line repair?
I have set of crazy quiffs flexible fuel lines fitted to my Mk1 Campaign. The clamps on the bulkhead had come off whilst driving and I have managed to rupture a hole in one of the pipes & was towed home by a lovely chap from the AA. I really don't want to spend £82 on a replacement hose at this time of the year and want to get my car back on the road ASAP.
I managed to pick up some plastic straight 8mm hose connectors from halfords along with some petrol pipe hose clips. If I was to cut the damaged section of pipe and insert the plastic hose connector would this be strong enough to withhold the pressure? Or would a metal barb inserted be a better option?
Festive regards,

which one is it though? if its the return its under no pressure so no worries.
the feed line is under 5 bar at all times so this one you need to be sure you make a good connection. if you can shove it in a bit more so you can use 2 fuel line clamps

i used a couple of sets of mk2 plastic ones and joined them with the standard push in vw connectors that bolt together
