Default 1992 Buick Regal Broken Fuel Line

I have 1992 Buick Regal with a broken high pressure fuel line which starts after the fuel rail. It started as a pin hole leak but since I was far from home I attempted a quick bypass by cutting and bypassing the part of the line where the leak was. The line is made of hard plastic Since then I have tried putting internal metal fuel connectors and clamps on the inside diameter to connect the broken pieces of the line. It didn't work. I tried putting high temperature, high pressure epoxy and new rubber fuel line on the outer side of the old line to connect the two parts. This seemed to work after I let the epoxy dry for 24 hours ,then let the car warm up - no leaks . Then I drove a mile or so -no leaks. Two days later as soon a I turned the key it leaked. I tried nylon fuel connectors and nylon fuel line . That didn't work either. This car has only 87 K miles. HELP if you have solution or suggestions. Thanks

can we see your predicament as it sits now.

you have an unsupercharged series 1 yes?
it’* nylon from there to the metal line


you need a nylon line repair kit, the nylon shrink fits over a clean, smooth section of metal line pretty suee
