A while back I removed the driver seat in my 72S and one of the mouting bolts sheared off. The bolt was near the center tunnel. To make matters worse, I went to drill out the bolt and accidentially punctured the steel fuel line which runs through the center of the vehicle. I cursed for about 2-weeks.

Sitting in the vehicle, the hole in the fuel line is located to the left and up 3.5 inches of where parking break sits. The hole is difficult to see even after I removed the gear shifter and the parking break assembly.

What are my options for repair. Can this line simply be replaced, as it appears to be welded in place. Can the line be patched? If so, how, given that it is very difficult to get to the hole. Can another line be inserted? Any help would be most appreciated

PS: Yeah, I know, I'm a schmuck for letting this happen. ##@!!
