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.
thanks for replies

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
