Slip a rubber gas line over it by making a slit in one side putting the slit to the back. If you can get one over without the slit it would be better. Then put a bunch of hose clamps on it.
But you will need to replace it soon!Livin' on Route 66

The truck is not mine. I will inform the owner of this problem. I am doing the guy a favor to get it running. He parked it about 10 years ago freshly rebuilt and now I am trying to get it fired up.

Cut the line and repair it with rubber hose. Fuel leaks near headers are not a good thing!
