Default Oh no!!!! i have a hole in my fuel feed line... help plz

ok, so i was driving down the road to get my gf and right before i turned on to the median i ran over a rod, the rod is about 8" long and 1/4 " wide, and somehow stood vertical and stabbed into my fuel feed line, so i was leaking gas every where. finally pushed it all the way to her house (downhill luckily ). jacked it up, took wheel off. unplugged the rubber hose from the metal hose with to hole in it, and plugged it, so its no leaking. still got like half a tank after loosing the other half... so now i drove to my house. but now im stuck, i dont know what to do next, the hose is definitely not fixable, and i know that toyota is going to charge me out the ***. i do have full cover insurance, but i dont know how all that works...
any tips, somewhere i can get the part or anything that you can do to help me
thank you guys....

if you got it at a dealership go their and buy it they should give you a discount might be 3 day shipping but i don't think claim it would be cheaper

ok. so i went to the stealership to find out how much the part/labor would be for this part. they told me it was going to be 175 for the part, and 250 for labor... 3 hours....
isnt that insane, i took everything off yesterday, in the dark, in less than 45 minutes, that includes a 5 mile trip to lowes for a plastic plug... i was like hell no ill figure somthing out

i just need to see if i can find this part somewhere online for less. and i can do it myself, since all the clamps are undone and all i have to do is remove the hose, and unplug the 2 little hoses
