Default Corroded fuel Line

Hi all, my ‘95 Impreza saloon has a corroded fuel line. I’m not sure if it is the pressure or return from the front of the car to the rear. It has corroded where it joins the rubber hose that is attached to the tank. Very difficult to get to. The fuel was spraying inside the car and pouring out underneath! I’ve done a temporary fix but I want to do a permanent good repair.

i thought about replacing the steel pipe with one from a scrappers or better still braided hoses.

has anyone done this and how much did it cost? Also where could I get braided hoses from?

thanks
mick

Replace the steel pipe with copper.
