I would say check with different parts suppliers. Also check GMPartsShop.com, & RockAuto.

The pressure line is 3/8" and the return is 5/16". You can use compression fittings and steel brake line to repair it. Very inexpensive way to repair it. Compression fittings are rated at 170psi, maximum fuel pressure is 108psi.

You won't find a picture like that The module connection is plastic and the line is plastic with an elbow on one end, and a straight fitting on the module end. The plastic line, (elbow) connects to the steel line just above of the tank, about 6" from where your line rusted out. Most auto parts stores have it,
Buy Dorman - OE Solutions Steel Fuel Line Assortment 1 Each: 5/16 and 3/8 Inch x 12 Inch Double Bead Lines 800-159 at Advance Auto Parts_____

Cut the tube right next to one of the beads, bend the tube to fit and stick a compression fitting on.
