You could use a hose mender fitting in between the two pieces..

Well after looking at your pic a liitle closer,i dont think you have enough hose on the fuel pump side to use one of them mender pieces...
Try this...

There might be enough hose left to meet the line on the pump housing...If not then get some fuel line from the auto parts store to replace the entire hose....

Correct way is to replace the hose. If you cannot, get the proper size fitting.
