I have never heard of a pour-in product to plug a fuel line leak. It would stop the flow of gas. You might find something to wrap the line with, but I doubt it and would not recommend it. Fuel leaks need to be correctly repaired.

Is there a tape or gel product available to stop the leak temporarily?

loctight makes something that might work. if my dog didnt eat my camera id post a pic. its like instant steel. mix it up than put it over the hole. it may or may not work but worth a shot. claims to be just as strong as steal when it dries but i dout it and it can stand temps up to 800. ive used it to repare the buttom of a fuel tank on a older for truck that had a metal tank. it worked great for that but it wasnt under any preasure really.

a mechanic told me that i could use jb weld (a two part epoxy) and pull off the line and apply it and let it set for few hours and put it back. Is this true?

Listen to 07 go buy some fuel hose from autozone cut out the bad spot put the hose on it with good clamps and forget about the new expensive line because the fix will last probably the life of the truck. Had same problem did this repair 5 years ago and still going strong.
