Don't drive it. Take the part off, take to autoparts store. There has to be fittings to remove the part, whether it is a fuel line or fuel rail.

Make sure no pressure on system before taking anything loose. If there is a quick connect fitting, the autostore has a tool for that. Note picture below.
