If it's good and broke, I wouldn't trust it. Is it a metal or plastic tube? Maybe you can re-flare the end of the tubing with a brake flaring tool if it's the metal kind. The fuel line just clamps on that anyhow, but it's got some pressure so I wouldn't clamp it to just a straight end. Personally I'd just get another one.

I'd say you're boned. Not the sort of thing you want to JB Weld.

And the extra shitty part is I can't replace individual connector lines they all are part of the cast on the fuel pump

I'll bet that it looked a whole lot more rust on it before you bead blasted it Just buy a new sending unit through Rockauto It's not the helpers fault that it was a piece of crap to start with It's just your CHEA P Hell you probably didn't even pay him for helping you and you just want someone to blame for your own incompatance
