Not sure how you can splice it, but OEM plastic line is available here. (http://"http://www.ronmorrisperformance.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=rmp&Category_Code=Fuel_Fittings_and_Fuel_Line")

Barb fittings like these work very well for splicing the plastic fuel lines. You just heat up the fitting, and press the tubing on, let cool. :burnout: Fairly cheap at Homedepot, or Lowes.
