Well...we are home!
Thanks to ALL of you - many great suggestions - "keeping extra length of hose...", "vise grips.." in the tool kit, extra "clamp" and on and on!
My father-in-law had this 'cute' little clamp that he didn't know he even had that worked just perfect...fact is, I'm going to keep it in the 'kit' just in case it is needed in the future.
These lines were replaced about 2 or 2-1/2 years ago and now I notice another one is weeping pretty bad too. So I guess it's off to the dealer for another 'meter' of fuel return line. This time I may buy the short one instead of making my own plug - as I did last time!
Now I need to figure out the most effective way to remove most of the fuel that 'sprayed' up on to the hood pad...
