Trying to help a friend with his 740 no start issue, I isolated the problem to his fuel pump (Regina - main pump inside tank). Unfortunately, while trying to disconnect the gas lines, he broke a fitting. It's the one that has a 90 degree turn in it, and it connects to the middle fitting of the three in this fuel sender picture.

This centre fitting looks quite different on the car. It seems that another piece fits on top of the shiny metal portion of the tube, with a widened section at the end. Then another piece appears like it snaps into this widened section, and goes out on a 90 degree angle. This snap-in 90 degree piece rotates fairly freely in the widened section, and it's this snap-in 90 degree piece that broke.

Does anyone know:

a) if this 90 degree piece does indeed snap in?
b) can it be purchased separately?
c) which function each of the three tubes provide? (ie. send, return, ventilation)
