So put on crimps and it's good? Think thats the preferred method for fuel lines.

Funny...I was going to ask if he was going to inform the buyer of the "repair". I'm not a fan of rigged repairs; but, some people don't mind. Seems the better thing to do...let the buyer decide if they care, rather than sneaking it on them.

At least it seems to be working for you.
