How strong is JB Weld

OK, I get the message.  The problem is that the part (893-201-220C, line 
from fuel pump to the pressure accumulator) is no longer available.  I may 
be able to source it but it will take a long time.  I need the car.  Was 
thinking of temporarily bypassing the accumulator and connecting the fuel 
pump to the filter directly;  can't find suitable banjo bolts though.  Any 
ideas?
Thanks.

Radek.
