^Shhhhhh they dont know that.
Anyhow I fixed it! I got a ride from my friend/coworker. Asked him to stop at autozone. They had 3/8th hose by the foot. I used the idea that . said to try and it worked! I put a 4" hose over the nipple and past the ring of the nipple of the fuel pump. Next I held the quick connect with some big *** pliers. I snaped off the quick connect and put the hose on. I used them small metal clamps that you adjust with a flat head screw driver.
I was not a easy task getting the rubber parts over the ring of the nipple and the cone shape of the quick connect fuel line. I used one clamp on the fuel line and two clamps one on each side of the ring of the nipple on the top of the fule tank. Turned the key to the on possition and not one leak!!! yes! so tottal was $5.37 lol thanks guys for all your help with getting my G Ride back up
Now the real fun. The line everyone was telling me was the wrong line. I look in to see where it runs. Just like Jon said, he pulled off his other seat and could not find it. Well thats cuz the one in the picture is in that tank. The one in the other picture of the fuel pump behind the driver side is another different hose. This one that connects to the top of the fuel pump where my messed up quick connect is, runs from there all the way on the bottom of the car to the front of the left side of the engine where you have to reposition that fuel line when you install the mazsport coils. So guess what. I have to replace that line. lol well not me but Mazda will. And I'll have them in stall a new fuel pump when they do it. It was just to much of a pain in the *** to deal with.
Thanks again guys! your the best! you ever need something let me know

If you have a hard time reading this I'm sorry its late and I'm high as a kite from all the gas I been inhailing. So till I can see straight I'll clean it up. Or if a mod is like WFT? you can clean it up lol I dont care.

So the answer is NO he will not be needing the part you were going to send.
