So I'm an idiot and snapped the fuel line
Ya so like it says I snapped the fuel line right at the fuel filter.right at the end it snapped,2000 camaro.so ive been trying to find a way to fix it with out getting a special tool to make a new line.the guy at AutoZone told me I need a hydraulic press tool that's like 300$ I told him thanks but no.i can't get the part from a dealer no one has it.so I thought maybe get the whole thing right from the tank to the filter and change that out but that would probably require dropping the tank and exhaust.if that's the only way so be it.thanks -Rob

Try Napa. They always have the parts the others don't. Gotta be able to get it somewhere...
Otherwise get a straight piece of flare (not that i know exactly what type of flare was used on a 2000 Camaro, just assuming a 45 double flare) and join to the old line with a compression fitting union (that's how I would have done it had it happened while my first gen was still mostly stock...) using nylon braided AN line now, and stainless steel hardline (from inline tube, 37 deg single flare (AN) easier to do on your own than 45 deg double flare) now that I have EFI.

I kinked the line right at the filter. Got the Dorman repair line, which is a length of nylon line with a push on connector already attached on one end. Cut out the same length of old line, spliced in the repair line using a Dorman compression connector for splicing nylon line.
