911SC Fuel Line - What are my options

Thanks in advance.

I was leaving work this evening and notice my '83 911SC was running rough during warm up. I opened the door and smelled more gas than normal. With the engine running I opening the lid and notice a wet spot on the warm up regulator. I reached in and soaked my fingers in gas and then the fuel line went snap causing fuel to spill all over the engine compartment. I ran and shut it down. Now i have a hose made of rubber and steel busted up. What is the deal with this fuel line? My car is still in the parking lot of our office and I need it home. Local dealers may not have part on hand. Has anyone made their own? It is refered to as Fuel Line, from warm-up reg to fuel distributor. Does anyone know the size of the rubber part? It seems to have broke at or near the nut next to the warm up reg. Please help

If its the line going to the center of the fuel distributor you can remmove it, cut the plastic lines off the 2 fittings, get some HIGH PRESSURE FUEL INJECTION rubber hose and CORRECT SIZE clamps from your local auto store and make a temporary fix. Get the correct line asap. Many SC's have burnt due to those plastic lines breaking.
