Help! Need fuel line fix!

Well what happened is i was working on the car tonight and had me a nice bright 500 watt work light to help me work during the dark, well i took a break and when i came back i noticed what my light was laying on and it was the fuel lines on the fender hump under the hood. Hoping no lines were melted, well found one to have 2 holes in it. I noticed it says non- repairable on the hose, but theres got to be some solution to this. Thanks, Daniel

Yes its not worth risking your life or the car to save a few dollars. fuel injection runs high pressure and a repair can and eventually will rupture causing a big fire hazard... Get some new fuel lines.

Thats what I had to do when a shop that was weldin on my sfc's didn't think a welder would go through a plastic fuel line. Nothing like seeing your car on fire.
