Default Advice on fixing a leaking fuel line.

I've got a leak in my fuel line somewhere after it comes out of the fuel tank. What is the best way to fix this? Is there someway I can splice into the fuel line and replace it with a piece of rubber hose and hose clamps, or do I have to replace the whole thing. Also, I'm not sure weather or not it is in the return or the presurized line. I assume that if it is in the return the rubber hosing with clamps would work fine, but I just discovered this and have yet to actualy get in there yet, so unless its going to be very obvious when i do, how do i tell the difference between the send and the return.

Use good hose and get some fuel injection clamps they can be tightened down alot more without chewing into the hose.

Yeah this is what I ended up doing and it seemed to work great. I used two of those good clamps on each side and some of the more expensive fuel line that can handle plenty of pressure.
