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'll have to take a pic of the other half when I go back outside in a few mins in warming up its freezing here in New Hampshire
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

On well I guess I should try and see if the pump from my blazer will work
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
