Default Plastic/Nylon fuel line 92,XJ,4.0

The nylon/plastic black fuel line that feeds the intake manifold leaks.
I tried replacing with a common fuel line but no luck with making it work.
What can I do? Can't find the part online or at parts store.
Thanks
Note: this is the line closest to the driver, is the other line a low-pressure return? i.e. should I replace both?

Depending on the fuel line connector size
Amazon Amazon
Or
Amazon Amazon

For the connector and for the line itself that part should be easy. Be sure to use fuel injector hose clamps so it seals tightly. I use them on all fuel lines, even on motorcycles that are gravity fed as they never leak.

Is this what you are referring to?
Originally it did not have any clamp.
As you can see the line from the pump blew off and left me stranded.
I am not aware of clamps specifically

for fuel lines.
Thank you for your help.

These clamps

If you're not going to flare your fuel hard line you'll want to really shove a lot of the rubber line over it and use at least 2 clamps

Can I also just get 1/4" nylon fuel line and heat it up with a heat gun or hot water and replace the original? Hesitant to use the 2 clamp method and can't easily flair the feeder line. Thanks.

Such as:
