I would really consider fixing this problem, could be hazardous. Rubber fuel line will work but it needs to be able to grip. A flaring tool would put a notch on the end of the metal line where the clamp (fuel hose clamp, not regular hose clamps) can grip. I would really suggest metal.

The Ford Service manual shows you splicing in a metal line for a damaged area.

As stated already, youll definitely want to get a permanent metal fixture on there. Where is the line broken?
