hi guys. I was installing my MKIV fuel pump and i decided to change that 20 year old fuel filter as well. the banjo bolt came off easily however the fitting with the line atached gave me trouble. The threads were loose; however, the line and the fitting were rusted together. The line was twisting as i was turning the fitting and eventually snapped off. What are my options in terms of replacement? Thanks in advance!

do the ghetto rig method, take the line down to your local auto store and tell then you need whatever amount of fuel hose that fits the hard line. pretty much bridge the gap where it broke at. I cut mine like 2in the put the hose on. sounds ghetto but shit better than a whole new line.

or pay out the ass to replace the hard line.
