Default broken fuel line

As i was dropping my motor back in last night, somehow my fuel line snapped about 2-3" back from the silver quick dissconnect, is there any fix for this or is my only choice a new line?

if the line is so brittle as to crack from flexing, it may be a good precaution to replace them all, fuel fires are no joke.

Dorman sells a tool kit with fittings, line and tools to properly repair the plastic lines.

You need to decide if you abused the line too much or if the line as a whole is failing.

The three line bundle is fairly cheap from GM.
