Geez, $55!!! Just go with the rubber fuel injection line. I think Nemesis misunderstood and thought you were talking about steel line.

Like you said, unhook the line, cut out the bad spot, hook up the rubber line with a couple clamps and you should be good to go.

Where exactly is the line located? If it's by the TBI across the intake manifold, it will be safe. If it's by the exhast manifold then you should use steel.

I just re-read you're original post. It sounds to me like you're talking about the line across the intake manifold next to the valve cover, if I'm not mistaken. Heat should not be an issue in that area.

or could i mix up some jb weld and coat the crack?

its just a crack? i would probably just drop some JB weld on it. maybe even take a little piece of steel and put that on top of the glue with a hose clamp holding it all together.
