The metal fuel line at the fuel injector feed line? Use the 3/8 fuel line tool

You're going to have to be clearer.

Are you saying that the new lines have quick connects, but what's on the vehicle does not?

Sorry for not being clear, the line into the gas tank is a quick connect and the metal line is supposed to have a nub about an inch back to clip onto. How do I make that nub.

Use a compression fitting and an adaptor





3/8 or 10 mm compression fitting



And this adapter, you might need to cut it in half

Then there’s the possibility or renting a flare tool like this

Or, cut the old end off insert it into the compression attached to the new.

Depending on the corrosion, a great suggest, but I thought the male end was cut off because the female plastic part was stuck to it.

I hope I don't end up with THAT problem. Looks too much like plumbing. And I have been doing household plumbing for the last 3 weeks or better and I'm about over it! Plumbing manufacturers need their asses beat...just sayin. It is ridiculous it's not standard fittings between brands. Off my soap box.
