Make sure no pressure on fuel lines before taking any fuel lines loose. This info came from my database, if you see a better way, by all means, use your best judgement.

Not sure what you are saying that broke.
If the line is plastic and the fitting has no place for a wrench, you use a tool made to release the spring tension inside the connector. AC lines use the same setup.
If the plastic line is broke, you may be able to get a repair kit at your local auto parts store. The fuel line is designed to be replaced all in one piece, not repaired.

The connector in the tank is the fuel filter. Yes this needs to be reconnected for the unit to operate. I suggest changing the fuel lines to new lines.

go by the auto parts store, buy fuel line disconnect tools.you take the fuel line disconnect tool, place it on fuel line push tool in the fuel line connector to seperate fuel lines.make sure when you get ready reconnect fuel lines back together you should hear fuel line snap back in place.make sure fuel line in place dont come apart. to be on safe side dont crank car first just turn ignition to the on position for few seconds check for fuel leaks.

Hi, to change the fuel filter, follow the steps below.

Disconnect the negative cable at the battery.

Loosen the fuel tank filler cap to relieve any fuel tank vapor pressure.

Wrap a shop towel around the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and remove the dust cap from the valve.

Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the Schrader valve.

Install the free end of the gauge bleed hose into an approved gasoline container, and open the gauge bleed valve to relieve the fuel pressure.

Flush the fuel filter line connectors with water, and use compressed air to blow debris off and away from the connectors.

Remove the fuel inlet and outlet lines from the filter following manufacture recommendations (have something around to catch gas that is in the lines and to lay the lines in while prepairing to put new filter on.

To install a new filter, begin by wiping the male tube ends of the new filter with a clean shop towel.

Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male tube ends on the filter.

Check the quick connectors to be sure the large collar on each connector has rotated back to the original position. The springs must be visible on the inside diameter of each quick connector.

Then install the filter in the proper direction and leave the mounting bolt slightly loose.

Install the outlet connector onto the filter outlet tube and press the connector firmly in place until the
spring snaps into position.

Grasp the fuel line and try to pull this line from the filter to be sure the quick connector is locked in place.

Then, do the same with the inlet connector.

Now tighten the filter retaining bolt to the specified torque.

Once everything is connected, lower the vehicle, start the engine, and check for fuel leaks at the filter.

These lines slide on and off, theres a clip inside the connector that locks it on, theres a tool used to slide into connector end to release clips, slide tool in and hold hold in connector and then pull line out, twist and pull, the line may be a little hard to remove so while holding the tool in the connector twist and pull line out.heres a picture of the top of the tank where the lines go on to the fuel module and also the tool i speak of, this set does fuel lines and other lines i put arrows on the fuel line ones, this kit is $9.00, hope this helps.

Use new fuel line. There should be two things (besides fuel line) in the fuel tank. The small line has a (1) fuel filter attached and is routed to the lower outlet on the carb. This is the fuel supply line. Make sure there are a few inches of it inside the tank. (say enough to reach other side of tank). The larger line should have a (2) nylon connector inside the tank holding it. The connector stays right at the tank hole. That larger line goes to the closest outlet on the purge bulb. The other fitting on the purge bulb should have a larger line that connects to the upper fitting on the carb.
Feed enough length of fuel line thru tank holes to pull them out where cap is to put on the filter and nylon connector...then pull them back thru. WD-40 will aid in this procedure or any light oil.

Fuel filters and elements are serviced by replacement only. Some vehicle manufacturers recommend fuel filter replacement at 30,000 miles (48,000 km). Always replace the fuel filter at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended mileage.
The fuel filter replacement procedure varies depending on the make and year of the vehicle and the type of fuel system. Always follow the filter replacement procedure in the appropriate service manual. The photo sequence below shows a typical procedure for relieving fuel pressure and removing a fuel filter.
Removing a Fuel Filter on an EFI Vehicle
Disconnect the negative cable at the battery.
Loosen the fuel tank filler cap to relieve any fuel tank vapor pressure.
Wrap a shop towel around the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and remove the dust cap from the valve.
Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the Schrader valve.
Install the free end of the gauge bleed hose into an approved gasoline container, and open the gauge bleed valve to relieve the fuel pressure.
Place the vehicle on the hoist and position the lift arms according to manufacturer's recommendations. Then raise the vehicle.
Flush the fuel filter line connectors with water, and use compressed air to blow debris off and away from the connectors.
Follow the recommended procedures for disconnecting the fuel inlet connector.

Installing Fuel Filters
In-line fuel filters are installed in the fuel line. In carbureted engines, the in-line gasoline filter is usually installed between the fuel pump and the carburetor. In vehicles with a fuel injection system, the location of the fuel filter is determined by the manufacturer. An arrow on the filter shows the direction of fuel flow.

• To install a new filter, begin by wiping the male tube ends of the new filter with a clean shop towel.
• Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male tube ends on the filter.
• Check the quick connectors to be sure the large collar on each connector has rotated back to the original position. The springs must be visible on the inside diameter of each quick connector.
• Then install the filter in the proper direction and leave the mounting bolt slightly loose.
• Install the outlet connector onto the filter outlet tube and press the connector firmly in place until the spring snaps into position.
• Grasp the fuel line and try to pull this line from the filter to be sure the quick connector is locked in place.
• Then, do the same with the inlet connector.
• Now tighten the filter retaining bolt to the specified torque.
• Once everything is connected, lower the vehicle, start the engine, and check for fuel leaks at the filter. NOTE THIS IS FOR A 3/4 TON 5.8L
