Fuel Filter Mayhem

[ozziemo27]

Hey there folks, I'm having an issue with my fuel filter on my 99 4.0. The old fuel filter's male end nearest the gas tank is basically stuck in the female end on the fuel line's fitting, I broke it off and its totally jammed in there, and i didn't even bother to screw with the side nearest the engine.Anybody know how i can temporarily rig this up to work til i get replacement fittings or some sort of fix? I need to drive it very soon. I was thinking of cutting off the fittings and simply hose-clamping the darn fuel filter in there in the meantime. Aren't there quick disconnect replacement fittings? Any help would be appreciated. This is very frustrating!

Lol, problem solved, i got a fitting of an explorer at the junkyard, and attached it to the end of my line, sometimes i wonder if i was dropped on my head as a child, lol.
