i was putting my new 190 in and guess what... the fitting would not budge no matter what. what a suprise. now i cracked the metal line at the base im lineing it with some jb weld.... will this hold i need my car. is there any way to cut out that hose and repair it with a hose on the inside then sealing it or something
 
It was brought to my attention that JB Weld is not impervious to gasoline. Your fix may be iffy.
I'd look at replacing the entire fuel line w/ one from a junkyard. Vice grips work pretty well for getting the fitting loose. Just remember to use 2 wrenches to ensure you don't twist the new line getting it off.
 
I would not try and fix it with JB weld. If gasoline starts leaking, you could catch your car on fire. Go to a junkyard and find another fitting. The best way to get the line off is actually to go under the car and disconnect the hose where it has another fitting just outside of the tank. This ensures you don't twist your metal fitting on the top of the tank.
