Default Minor Emergency: Fuel Hardine Leaking

I was just doing my final checks before packing up the car for the Sebring club race and found a problem - I've got a small leak in the hardline right below the passenger seat. It looks like I might have picked something up on a recent track run that hit it just right.

It's Saturday...I leave on Monday...so, I don't have time to order lines & replace them.

Can this line be replaced/repaired using a strip of fuel injection rated hose safely? Perhaps a short section just where this small hole is?

Thanks much,

Rick

Do you know if it's the pressure or return line? If it's the return you could get away with a soft hose with double clamps on each end. Not sure if I'd trust that fix on the pressure side though.

There are 4 lines passing through there...the damaged one is the second closest to the right side of the vehicle. It is larger than the far outside line...appears slightly larger than the one next to the inside and definitely larger than the one closest to the middle of the car.
