Might not be permanent, but take the old line and split it down the middle and then overlap it on the new line. Should take care of it.

I had the same issue onmy 05 deuce, thefirst one went at 8000 miles and the next one let go 1000 miles later. So after the second POS i replaced it with a piece of -6 braided stainless steel hose, the same stuff they use on race cars, it was a little pain in the a** to get in their but then again, so is repacing the line all the time.

reroute the line. HD puts about 10# of crap in a 5# bag in that fuel tank. be sure to route away from the fuel guage sending unit. Never have had one replaced in my 03.
