Default a fuel line popped off under d/s door...repairable?

While changing the oil today I just noticed that one of the 3 plastic fuel lines the route along under the d/s door is disconnected from its hard line. It looks like it was also previously repaired by the last owner because the connection is different from the other 2 lines. Should I get a new line or is this one salvageable?

Mine looks like the same connection. I bet if you just replaced the little piece of rubber fuel line and put some new clamps on you would be fine.

that line goes back 2 the charcoal canister behind the drivers side rear tire. Its just a vent line for fumes.

yeah, it's not a fuel line. It's for evap, goes to the charcoal canister.

Just reconnect it or delete the whole evap system. You'll get a code, just tune it out.

Reclamping it is just fine. No liquid fuel goes through there.
