How strong is JB Weld

[Radek]

Here's an update:  the line in question (893-201-220C) in NLA anywhere I 
know.  However, the same fuel pressure accumulator was used in Golf/Jetta 
Mk.2 and early Passats.  The corresponding line (from fuel pump to pressure 
accumulator, 191-201-373) can still be bought.  It has a different shape but 
the connector going into the accumulator (the part that broke) should be the 
same, at least so I hope.  I should have it in about 10 days and will report 
on fit issues.
For reference, the car in question is 88 90Q with NG engine.
Thanks to all for your input;  from now on I will NOT, under any 
circumstances, JB Weld fuel line fittings :)

Radek.
