The tool to go from steel to plastic lines is quite expensive,seen it in a kit down here for 250.00cdn,didn't even know there was such a tool.
Best idea would be to buy a steel flaring tool, some fittings and unions.
Goto your local parts store and check with them as to what the size is and the best way to repair it.
You could also do it the cheap way and buy some rubber fuel injection hose and some clamps,have seen it done hundreds of times and it works well.

i was thinking just making new lines useing the existing sections going into the plastic, i could do the rubber lines, but id rather do it right since i have it all apart.
