    I'm replacing the fuel lines on my '95 Tacoma and have broken a few of those nylon clips in the process.
    I'm trying some glue called Kafuter 303 that is supposed to be good on plastics like nylon and is cured with a UV light, I used a UV flashlight.

    Here's a picture of the first try....I used some thin clear nylon to bridge the gap, the glue seems flexible enough....I'll let you know if it survives snapping the lines back in.

    I've done a mod or two
    Neat, any glue that can join low energy plastics like PP and PE is hard to come by

    Yah, this stuff fills gaps and makes fillets too. I think it was originally invented for dentistry a long time ago, or at least found a use there.

    It didn't work. I think the plastic I used was polyethylene not nylon as the glue stuck better to the clip than to it, so I just used a much thicker black nylon patch and JB weld instead.
