I use some JB-weld to glue the line together but it didn't hold is there anything that will hole it together?
You dont want to glue it. Fuel being petroleum will disolve pretty much any glue or adhesive. Best bet is to go down to the auto parts store or hardware store and get a piece of the same size and length fuel line and replace it.
No there is not replace line

BAD ENGINE.....
SOURCE: Repairing a hole in the oil pan
The problem with welding on the car is that you will NEVER get it clean enough and weld will not hold. Remove pan and clean it, THEN weld it. I usually screw it down to a piece of 3/4" plywood so that it does not warp while welding...also use a wet rag to cool area near weld as you work (at least 3-4 inches from work area)

It may solve the problem if you could get it to cure properly, unless you can completely remove all the oil from the case and clean the surounding surface the epoxy wont set properly on an oily surface, If you look around (home depot) you may be able to find the epoxy that has a consistency of silly putty that may work.

You can try but it would be better if you can get someone to fix it with a weld if your trying to save some money. The other thing to is if you can find one at a salvage yard, if not there are many aftermarket headers for your 2.8 liter engine. Good luck and hope this helps. Keep me posted, be glad to answer any more questions you may have.

On a return hose, your idea is fine. Use clamps made for fuel systems as they don't bite into the rubber. I suggest that you place the tightening screws 180 degrees opposite each other using two at each end.What you use to join the hose is optional. You can put a very slight flair at each end of a short steel line or use a brass coupler with barbs (better).
