repairing broken fuel line coupler between pump and filter? 200

So while I was attempting to replace the fuel filter today I broke the line that runs between it and the main pump. According to the IPD catalog, that is a 24.64 dollar mistake (thankfully they're 10% off this week!). Is there any way to repair this without springing for a new line? For half that price I could patch it with a kit from O'Reilly that may or may not hold. Or perhaps there is a hydraulic shop in my town that could cut the plastic off and reset a new line in there, heat shrinking it into place as I presume they do.

If I did patch with something from the auto shop, which compound would I go for -- the 'fuel tank' repair kit or the 'plastic tank' patch kit?

Just wondering if anyone's done this before.
Here's the part in case anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about.

As always, thanks a whole lot
