I will add a pic in an edit tomorrow. So what is my best option?
  1. Use rubber fuel line to replace the 4" or so of corroded line (as others I found searching did)
  2. Replace all steel lines, ordered from ???
  3. Buy a roll of ?mm line, steel?, aluminum? then bend it and replace fittings?

do the rubber line repair thing till you source out the steel line to replace when weather is more friendly to outdoor work.
