BHMav8r Nice find on the part chart - I looked everywhere and couldn't locate it.
Instead of JB Weld as a repair which is funky-ville, use a small 3" piece of rubber hose that is a little bit larger in diameter than the worn line.
Cut the rubber hose lengthwise and cover the worn area of line - Should fit snugly and you're done.

Good idea. Think Ill add some sort of epoxy or similar that agrees with the rubber between the sleeve and hose.
They sell this type of hose in many diameters and Auto parts stores like Autozone/Napa parts/etc No to epoxy--->I'd use small small small amount of clear silicone. Will work like a charm.

That is the purge valve or vent valve line. Fuel vapor is transferred from the gas tank through that line and introduced into the intake tract via that hose. I would replace the hose vs repairing for obvious safety reasons. Good luck with it!

Proble is its curved at the worn spot - not straight.
I'll come up with something. It will be stronger than the hose itself.

Use stretch thermo tape. It bonds to itself and what you're wrapping. It's what comes with DEI foresleeve kits. It's a bit pricey but great to have in your arsenal.
