Try a thin coating of JB Weld then push it back in and give it a day to
cure.

Subject: [TR] fuel pump question

I was surprised when my attempt to pull the rubber fuel line from the fuel
pump on my Spit actually pulled out the
(brass?) fitting instead.  I tapped it back in with a block of wood, and it
seemed to be tight, but when I tested it with the engine running it pulled
out on its own.  Not good!  The pump itself is fine, so I'd like to make a
fix if possible.  Is there some product that will let me secure the line in
its slot, or does this have to be a pressure fitting?

Thanks,
