Decent superglue will hold for a while but TBH your better off just changing it, i doubt it will be available from a dealer on it's own so look on ebay for a 3 way connector in the same size bore like this www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/fuel-hose-fittings/fse-metal-t-piece-for-push-on-fuel-hose you'll need to warm the plastic pipes to remove and refit them (hiar dryer probably wont do it i use a hot air paint stripper), the conectors are available from "decent" spares shops, i've had to do the same often, the plastic hardens with age and the heat of the engine bay, bleed off unions on the pipes from the injectors themselves are very prone to it, so much so i keep them in stock. |

If you can find copper pipe that is a tight fit it is possible to tap it in, glue it in place and attach your pipe to the new piece of copper. you can also use the copper pipe as a sleeve that goes inside the broken section to support it then glue the crack *snigger* .
