Advanced auto parts sells Dorman brand fuel line repair parts . They use the nylon or plastic tubing that you warm and then place on the fitting and it shrinks to seal on the fitting. Or you can use fuel injection hose and hose clamps and clamp onto the fitting.

if these fittings are quick disconnects, how do i quickly disconnect them. is there a tool needed
i'm putting a fuel regulator next to my tank to avoid running another fuel line. is there any issue with closing off the return line @ the engine

will pinching it off or feeding it back to itself cause problems?

As for feeding it back to itself, that's never a good idea.
Sorry...I couldn't resist.

These are compression fittings found at a local hose store, 3/8 for fuel feed and 5/16 for return connected to female NPT and AN4 on the other side. Steel braid all the way back from that. Does not leak and very inexpensive.
Thanks
