While brilliantly drilling holes in the floor of my MC9's front luggage bay, I managed to drill a hole in a fuel line (1" copper pipe)that I never knew was under the floor. I instantly had a diesel geyser. I made a temporary patch with rubber gasket and hose clamp. Other than draining the fuel system and replacing the pipe, any suggestions on a fix?

if you can cut the line, compression fittings will work
