Oh yeah, I know that feeling. Last spring, while I was removing some
damaged nylon emmissions line from under the rear of my TR6, I gave a yank
that ruptured the adjacent, marginal-condition rubber fuel line link. It
was slow enough that I was able to put a car-wash bucket under it (the car
was already up on a jackstand) to hold the fort while I ran to the nearby
parts store for replacement. The real fun began when I swapped the old for
new hose. Full tank of gas, so I was in no mood to officially drain it.
Ended up covered in gasoline, pretty much head to toe, but I got the new
piece in.
Sorry about your trouble, but it feels good to not feel like I'm the only
one.
