Fuel line repair?

While I was trying to get my fuel filter off, I accidently cracked my fuel line. Is there a temporary fix, or do i have to replace the whole fuel line?

The one from the filter to the engine fuel rail, the one from the pump to the tank, or the line from the filter to the pump?

Then you must have a CI injection equipped car? And that would be the line from the accumulator to the filter? IF so, it is under high pressure, and should be replaced with a new or junk yard part instead of a splice or repair.
