Default Help with fuel line connector part #

Hi guys,
I'm replacing my fuel pump. While dropping my tank the fuel line pinched and appears to have a small hole in it now. It's the black fuel line that is about 6 inches and connects to the main metal fuel line going to the engine. It has the push on connector on the end that connects to the fuel pump.
In this picture, it's the one labeled "Fuel Line (To Fuel Rail)"

Can you guys help me find the part number so I can order a replacement? Or is this more of a generic part I can take to Advance Auto and match up?

This is on a 1994 Dodge Ram 5.9L gas engine. 1500

You can use any 90° fitting if you know the size of the line. It's just a quick connect fitting. Inline tube had the who nylon line with the fitting

You can get these from dorman. Most parts stores should have them but the name may be different.

Hi again guys!

Got all the parts thanks to your help.

I've got the new fuel pump installed. Everything seems to be connected correctly, but the engine won't start.

When I turn the key I can hear the fuel pump engage, like you would expect, but when I turn the engine over it doesn't start. Battery is fully charged and starter is fine....it's trying to start but thinking it's not getting any fuel to the engine.

Maybe I have air in my fuel line? If so, how do I fix this?

Cycle the key several times, ( 4 or 5) see if the pump will build pressure.

That seemed to help a little. Instead of just hearing the starter roll it sounded like the engine wanted to start for a bit, but that didn't last long.

Tried doing that a few times and same result

Any other tricks? Would spraying carb cleaner in the throttle body help?

One thing I should have probably mentioned.

There is not much gas in the tank. I completely drained it in order to drop the tank to replace the fuel pump. I just put about 1.5 gallons in the tank. Would it be better if I added more fuel to the tank?
The plan was to fill it up after I got it running

LOLOL. Yeah, Definitely put some more gas in there. The last couple gallons or so aren't really accessible to the pump.

Hey, at least it wasn't a bad pump.
