fuel line rusted out!

hey all its been a long while since i've been on. the car has been amazing minus this little issue i found today. my wife is the daily driver now so things are about to go south lol.

whats the best way to repair this? a new line would be a pain to bend and change the whole thing. i was thinking of cutting the line and buying a brass or stainless fitting for the quick connect. let me know if anyone of you has experience with this issue.

Update:

With a pleasant surprise a new fuel line at the dealership was $60, bought it and just installed it took about an hour. The only down side is the terrible shield clips are $7 each!!! 3 broke, other than that easy fix. I'm still surprised the line rusted out...

Hi I am actually from London, ON too and discovered the exact same issue in my 2011 Mercedes C300. Do you know the part number for the fuel line?

Sorry I don't have that information anymore once my car was totaled. I got rid of all my w204 paperwork, but I usually go see Sean at mercedes london he just took my vin and ordered the part for me, It wasn't to expensive.

Where was this located? Was it behind any shielding?

I guess I should look at mine since the brake line rusted out a year ago. If I can save/buy time on this I will clean and coat it
