id find out where in the line is it coming from, supply line or return and what section, if its coming from a rubber section replace it with fuel rated line that wont deteriorate. i dont think steel braded is worth it, not needed for the relativly low pressure fuel line sees. i was in my infiiniti once and i hit something and tore open one of the metal lines , this was in the middle of the winter and i had no garage , or even tools at the time. next day i got my scissor jack, jacked it up, took a pipe cutter tool, ( the kind u spin around a metal pipe and it cuts it, to cut out the damage section , maybe a foot or so) so i removed the bad section, make sure u use a pipe cutter or something that wont crush the line, this is a spot where you dont want to use pliers or diagnal cutters to cut, because it will crimp the line shut and that will get u no where. so get out the bad section and i tool rubber fuel line and replaced the metal section with the rubber line under the car. it was dirt cheap cost like less than 10$ and i did it in like 30 mins, i cut out the bad, put in new rubber line for about a foot, double clamped it on each side and it was fine, it did not fit neatly into the line tray again, but meh it was cheap and lasted, in my opinion the best way would be to replace the whole metal line, if you have time and the $$, still not at expensive route either. if the rubber line leading into the fuel pump was damaged, thats an easy fix just replace it, thats my 2 cents, keep me posted
