Fuel leak

[CupRacer172]

Does anyone know which of the two lines send or returns fuel as you are underneath looking towards the engine?

I've discovered a cut/leak on the drivers side line.
Any tips on a temporary repair to get it to a garage? I was thinking of cable ties and industrial rubber piping.

Cheers

I was under the impression that only ph1 172s had a return?

Mine is the 172cup sept2002 registered first batch 500 if that helps?

I've been recommended to try epoxy as a temporary fix to get it to a garage so off to halfords...

UPDATE: My local garage has repaired the hose line successfully but I will change anyway once I can find the right part.

The fuel hose line damaged has been discontinued by RUK and RPD have given me the part number (8200 026 260) to try find aftermarket part... ANY HELP?

The other line is in stock with part number: 166846988R

These both run under the car.

Same.

One will be fuel line and the other for the carbon cannister system.

Thanks for the link - I will get on that now
The left line nearest exhaust was damaged and leaking fuel so the drivers side line must be the carbon canister line which RPD say is still in stock.
