Default Fuel line broken!?

I have a issue i noticed when replacing my power steering lines. The very forward line on the fuel rail is broken off completly and im not sure what it is. I'm 90% sure it is the return line but not sure how to fix it or if i have to find the whole line to replace. thanks for any help in advance. Here is a picture of the line i found online. Dont mind my crappy skills in paint lol

Looks like you'll be purchasing a new fuel rail.

no need for a new rail. just a new QD. i just did mine because the QD at the other end of that line ( under driver side front door) rotted out. i got a new QD and an adapter for my quick clamp to install it. took 30 mins. dont quote me but i think i remember it being 1/4''
