Are you talking about the compression fittings for the fuel lines?

hi..its the aluminum line coming from the fuel filter,to the fuel pump.not the rubber hose.

It should be steel. Not aluminum. It's a flared line. If it needs replaced you could cut it off and the flare the end. Or go buy a 5/16 steel line and bend it accordingly. Or put a short one on and hose the rest. But it's not a bolt. It's a flared nut/line. But first just try to tighten it up.

It could be cracked looking at the pic.(real good by the way) Looks like fuel line got twisted. Let us know. Sometimes we forget our own strength.
