Default Fuel Feed Hose Leak!

My fuel feed hose has a very small "Crack" or "slit" that is allowing a very small leak of fuel to exit. The actual leak is on the rubber hose. (picture below)

Is there any way to temporarily repair a leak on a rubber hose that is going to be holding 35 to 40 psi of pressure?

Can I replace the rubber hose with one identical to it and crimp it down to the original metal fittings?

I've found several dealerships / auto parts stores in the area that have it on back order and it's looking like a 7 to 10 day out kind of process. I need the car over the holiday weekend!!!

Thanks !!!

It's #3 on the picture above. If you look at the line directly attached to the "#3" you'll see part I'm speaking of,however the hose or line that's leaking is directly connected, it's directly below the number 3. (the hose is at a 90% angle)

Any help?

Your picture link is broken. Don't screw around with fuel lines. If it splits you can burn your car to the ground in a hurry. Oh, and you might get scorched too. Seriously, don't drive it until it's fixed.

No, you won't be able to replace the rubber part and mate it with the stock metal ends. Remember, fire bad.
