vro nipple broken how to replace

[chevy76]

broke the nipple that the gas hose coming from the filter attaches into the vro pump. the nipple snapped out of the vro housing cleanly, like it was previously sealed/glued into the housing. Can I reattach the nipple with some type of marine grade adhesive/sealant that will seal well enough for a gas connection and resist breakdown from the gas/alcohol? Any help greatly appreciated?

Welcome to iboats.
My personal opinion is to replace the broken part, especially when it involves the fuel and vro system. One false move and you will have a siezed motor on your hands.
Just my opinion though.
