Use PS or AFT rated hose not fuel line and fuel injection hose clamps with barb fittings.
If it doesn't require any special long drawn out time consuming procedure just change it.


This! ^^^ I have done this many times in the past on return lines ONLY(NOT High Pressure Line). Usually make my own and they last for years!

if it split once, it's likely weakened internally and apt to split again. I wouldn't mess around. Only repair with physical means like barbed fittings or replace the hose. Strong vote here for replacing the hose.
