Hello, I'm Danny.

I've attached a picture below. Did the plastic nipples break off the fuel pump or did the plastic fuel line couplers break? I've circled in red. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

It would be best to actually replace the fuel pump then. You can try to use epoxy to repair but with the system being under such high pressure it might not work properly or leak. Would you like me to send you a fuel pump replace how-to? Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
