Diesel Shooting Everywhere

[bmeares]

In the rush to change out the fuel filter on my '86 190d 2.5, I inadvertently busted a hole in the fuel line running out of the filter and into the injection system, leaving diesel all over the driveway. I have found 2.5mm fuel line to replace the busted section, but don't know how to attach it to the two threaded end pieces that connect to the filter housing and to the injection system. There are what appear to be brass crimp-on fittings--does anybody have any experience with these or know where I could find some fittings and something to crimp them with--or know where I could buy a line that already has the end pieces attached?
