Leaking fuel line - how to repair?

[bertel]

The feed fuel line on my 1990 Accord LX leaks near the rear connection (the connection itself does not leak). That fuel line is protected by a thick plastic cover or slieve, and I can see the gas leaking from the end of that covering. I know that I can replace the entire fuel line, but this seems to be a very difficult task. Is there a simpler solution that might involve cutting the existing line and attaching a new section with a length of fuel hose and clamps? Thanks for your help.

Yep...that's it in a nutshell. Did mine earlier this year.
